Usually no, a steam engine usually refers to a system using steam pressure to make pistons in cylinders slide, while a steam turbine refers to a system using steam pressure to make turbine blades spin. However "steam engine" is often used loosely to refer to either.
No, it can be made by rotating machines or by solar panels. Rotating machines can be driven by engines or by the wind. Engines can be water turbines (hydroelectric), steam turbines (coal/oil), gas turbines or petrol or diesel.
Generally speaking, yes it is the same. It uses the expansion of steam to draw power from the heat energy in the steam. Today's steam engines (turbines) are greatly improved in efficiency over those in use since the 19th century, but they still operate on the same principles.
Basically.
The same way fossil fuel plants do, making steam and turning turbines which turn generators/alternators.Nuclear fission generates heat which flashes water to steam which spins turbines that spin generators that produce electricity.

no
In the same way fossil fuel energy involves heat. Making steam to turn turbines.
Of an individual diesel engine and an individual steam engine of the same energy output the diesel engine would be less polluting. It is far more efficient. However, there are far more diesel engines than steam engines in the world today so overall diesel engines pollute more than steam engines.
Searching on multiple engines at the same time for the same thing.
both are the same thing..............
Anything greater than or equal to 212F (100C). Superheated steam used in steam locomotives, steam turbines in power plants, etc. can be any temperature from 500F to 2000F depending on the design of the system.Note: if you can see the "steam" it is not steam. What you see are tiny droplets of liquid water that have condensed from the steam and is probably exactly at 212F (100C) because it is in thermal equilibrium with the invisible steam at the same temperature.
Well Vapor And Steam Are The Same Thing,In That Case It Would Be Evaporation Since Vapor/Steam When Liquid Turns Into A Gas :)
