Henry's law states that the solubility of a gas is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas over the liquid. The higher the partial pressure, the more gas will be dissolved-- that's why your blood boils in a vacuum; there's not enough pressure to keep the gas in it dissolved.
In a liquid solution, the solute is the substance that is dissolved, and the solvent is the substance that does the dissolving. In a gas solution, the solute is the gas that is being dissolved, and the solvent is the gas that does the dissolving.
When a solid, liquid , or gas is dissolved in another substance, the result is a solution.
Heat (in most cases) has an opposite effect on the solubility of solids as compared to gases. Almost all solids will dissolve faster in a liquid at higher temperatures, whereas gases will dissolve in a liquid faster at lower temperatures (as long as the temperature is not so low that the liquid in question freezes).

Yes, a liquid can dissolve a gas. When a gas comes into contact with a liquid, the gas molecules can be absorbed and become distributed throughout the liquid, forming a solution. Examples of this include carbon dioxide dissolving in water to make carbonated water or oxygen dissolving in blood.

When you wish to dissolve a solid in a liquid faster, you increase the temperature. This makes the solid particles move faster and farther, and thus dissolve in the liquid faster. However, the problem with dissolving a gas is the opposite: gas particles already are moving fast and far, to the point where it is difficult to keep them stay in the liquid. The opposite is thus done, lower the temperature. A good example is a can of soda. Cold soda is almost always fizzier than warm soda because the carbon dioxide is dissolved more in the liquid. cool the liquid and increase the pressure
Low temperature and high pressure are typically the best conditions for dissolving a gas in a liquid. Lowering the temperature reduces the kinetic energy of gas molecules, making them more likely to dissolve, while increasing the pressure helps force more gas molecules into the liquid.
When you add material to a gas or liquid, the material you add is called a solute. In the context of solutions, the solute is dissolved in the solvent, which is the liquid or gas that does the dissolving. In general, the combined result of the solute and solvent forms a homogeneous mixture.
