A vapor is a gas, but it is at a temperature where the substance could also exist as a liquid or a solid.
The easiest example is water. Water will evaporate at any temperature above 0 degrees Celsius...but if the pressure of the water vapor increases sufficiently or if the air becomes saturated, the water vapor will condense back to liquid water.
