This is a process called sublimation, where either the temperature is increased or the pressure is reduced (maybe even both) to cause the molecules in the solid to completely overcome the attractive forces keeping them together.

What happens when solid turns into gas?

The gas can't generally turn straight into a solid, it has to change into a liquid and then a solid. When a gas turns into a liquid, the particles go closer together into groups and condensate. When the liquid turns into a solid, the particles all compress into a small space thus making a solid object.-----------------------------------------------------------------------But the phenomenon of change from a gas to a solid is also very known and is called deposition.
