What is the meaning of saturated vapour?

Saturated steam is gas-phase water that is at its condensation threshhold. That means that if the temperature is lowered or the pressure is increased, you will see condensation. An example of this would be boil-off steam in a pot: as soon as it hits the cooler surface of the pot lid, it condenses again. This constrasts with superheated steam, which is above the saturation point due to being heated to hotter than the boiling temperature at the given pressure.


What is the inside of bubble that form when the water boils?

hot air. ^^Close. It is actually steam or the gaseous form of H2O (water). As the water is heated it changes from a liquid to a gas. Since the heat is coming from the bottom (in a pot) and the top of the water is cooler, the gas forms bubbles.

Why large bubbles form when water boils what are the bubbles made of?

When water boils, the bubbles are made of water vapor. Water is changing from the liquid phase to the gas phase, but it doesn't change all at once, so you get bubbles of gas inside the liquid. The phase change will happen first at the location where heating is taking place, so if you have a pot on a stove, the bubbles will form at the bottom of the pot, and then rise to the top.
