The Steam and Vapor are the same thing i.e. Water in its gaseous state.
However Steam is formed by Forced Boiling and is at a pressure greater then the atmospheric pressure as used in a Steam Engine.
Water Vapour is free conversion of Water from Liquid to Gaseous Stage thru evaporation. It is in approximate equilibrium with atmospheric pressure
Steam is formed by by raising the Temperature (giving heat energy) of water above its Boiling Point i.e. 100 deg Celsius whereas evaporation of water (from water bodies) may occur at temperature way below the boiling point i.e. 30 deg Celsius. Drying of washed clothes is an example

Steam is to water as liquid is to?
steam is to liquid as smoke is to fire
How does a dry steam cleaner work?
A dry steam cleaner works by turning water into dry steam vapor. The cleaner heats water under high pressure which turns the water into a vapor that has very little moisture.
What is the difference between a calorifier and a steam generator?
A calorifier produces hot water, not steam, whilst a steam generator obviously produces steam
Are air water and steam all liquids?
No, Air is a gas water is a liquid Steam is a liquid vapor
The critical pressure at which the latent heat of vaporization for water is zero is?
Its the temp AND pressure at which there is no difference between the liquid water and the vapor (steam) for water that is - around 647 K (374 °C; 705 °F) and 22.064 MPa (3200 PSIA or 218 atm)
What is the difference between water and steam?
water is a liquid, steam is a gas
What is the water that has been heated to a gas?
Water can be heated at 100 degree celsius to give steam which is the gaseous state of water
Difference between steam and water vapor?
In hydro distillation, water is added with raw plant material and boiled to give steam. In steam distillation, steam is passed through a chamber that contains raw materials. In hydro distillation, an hydro machine is used to capture the stream which is further condensed. Whereas the steam is condensed by flowing into a chilled condensed chamber.
What is the difference between clouds and water vapor?
water vapor has no water in it but clouds do
Explain the differences in appearance and behaviour between liquid water and steam?
Steam and vapor are in the form of a gas. Liquid water is in the form of a liquid.
The gaseous phase of water is called?
Water cannot exist in gaseous state - water vapour is small droplets of water suspended in air, not water as a gas
Water vapor and steam are the same thing?
Yes, but that stuff you can see isn't steam. Neither steam nor water vapor are visible. The could of white stuff you can see above a boiling kettle is water droplets formed by the condensation of the water vapor/steam as it collides with the cooler air outside the kettle.
What is the solute and solvent in steam?
Steam is not a solution; steam is water vapor.
What is water in vapor form called?
steam, fog, water vapor, mist...
How is water vapor different from steam?
So specifically steam will form when you boil water. While water vapor forms when the sun evaporates water. Steam you would most likely see, while water vapor is more of an invisible gas.
Is steam water vapor?
Yes water vapor is steam. It is formed when water heats up to 100 degrees Celsius.
What are some examples of water as gas?
Steam (in all its uses), water vapor (as in humidity).
