ce is frozen carbon dioxide.

It freezes at a lower temperature than water and transforms directly from a gas to a solid, unlike water which goes from gas to liwuid to solid, as the temerature decreases.

The "steam" you see on stage sets is often dry ice that is melted back into a gas and condenses the watervapour it comes into contact with.
