stream have more temperature than water
A steam burn is generally more severe than a water burn because steam carries more heat energy than water due to its high temperature. Steam can cause more damage to the skin upon contact and penetrate deeper into the tissue, resulting in a more serious burn.
It is not really more. Steam is the gas form of water, and thus hotter than the liquid form. 1000C (at 1au at sea level) is the boiling point of water. 400C water will not burn you, but 990C will. Steam at 1010C will burn you, but steam at 5000C would burn worse. So your answer is steam is hotter, but how much more of a burn you get also has to do with the amount of steam or water you come in contact with, and the temperature the steam or water is.

As the steam comes in contact with the skin, it becomes water, and releases more energy (about 2188 joules per gram) on contact than water at the same temperature.
kettles burn when the water is boiling because the steam and the evaporation. By anna
steam causes severe burns because of change of state i.e. liquid to gas with effects our skin. where as boiling water is only liquid which is hot but it does not effect the skin more than water.Thus higher the temperature of steam as compared to water. cause more severe burns than boiling water
Steam is more dangerous because the temperature is higher.
To burn with hot liquid or steam, to treat with boiling water, to criticize harshly
Coal
Water is cheap and you burn any thing in the furnace on the old steam boats!!
A steam burn is an example of latent heat, because beside the heat released by the steam itself, a part of it condenses, turning into water, which in turn releases heat too.
Greater latent heat in steam due to phase change.
A steam-powered car does run on water but it also needs the fuel to burn to heat the water into steam! Steam-cars generally used vapourised paraffin as fuel, as do most modern versions.
