Why does hot water steam when it's thrown out of a cup in a cold temperature?

Hot water always steams, but when it is cold, the steam quickly converts to water droplets, and thus becomes visible. Pure steam is invisible.

Why does a glass of hot water thrown into air on a cold day turn into a cloud?
since it's cold outside and the water is warm the water turns into steam
What happen when we boil water and expose the steam to a cold surface?
When we boil water and expose the steam (water vapor) to a cold surface, it will condense into tiny drops of water on the cold surface. If you can see the 'steam'rising above the water, it has already condensed into tiny droplets of water in the cool air.
How does the water on the outside of a cold glass get there?
There is water in the form of water vapor, sort of like steam, in the air. But, the amount of water the air can hold depends on the temperature of the air. The hotter it is the more water it can hold. But, when the air touches the side of a cold drink glass the temperature at that place drops dramatically and the air can't hold nearly as much water as it has been, so the water comes out of the air (condenses) onto the glass.
Can hot water freeze easily than cold water?
Yes, hot water can freeze easier than cold water. This is known as the Mpemba effect, but the starting temperature of the water has to be at a precise temperature for this to occur.
Why do water droplet appear on outer surface of glass when cold water is poured in it?
The cold water reduces the temperature of the glass. The cold glass reduces the temperature of the air around the glass. The amount of moisture in air is temperature dependant hotter air can contain a higher moisture content. If the air temperature is reduced the water condenses. In this case the cold glass reduces the air temperature in contact with the glass, this results in the condenstion of moisture from the air, and water droplets are formed.

What happens when steam hits a cold surface?
It really depends on the temperature of the steam and temperature of the cold surface. 250 degree steam hitting a 50 or 60 degree surface will just turn back into water and droplets can be seen almost immediately. 1000+ degree steam hitting a frozen surface may cause a loud bang and eventually turn back into water.
When steam becomes cold it is?
Water
What is the steps for crushing can in cold water?
You have to fill the can with steam and then seal it closed. when you then put the can in cold water the steam will condense into water and the can will be crushed by atmospheric pressure.
Formed as a liquid when steam meets a cold surface?
Water is formed as a liquid when steam meets a cold surface.
Does reindeer poo really steam when it's cold?
pretty much anything that's body temperature and a bit moist will steam if exposed to cold.
If temperature of water rises it changes to a gas?
um...The best answer I can give to that is: eventually.If water is continually heated, it will eventually become a vapor/gas/steam, but if you have cold water and heat it up a bit, it will not become a gas. It takes a large amount of energy to convert water to steam.
What is the result after heating of water?
Heat is the transfer of energy from one object to another because of a difference in temperature.There are at least 3 different things which can happen if you heat water:1) The temperature of the water will increase until it gets to the same temperature as the object which heated the water.2) The water temperature will increase, then the water will turn to steam, then the steam will increase in temperature. This would happen if the heat source temperature is higher than the steam point and there is nothing trying to cool the water at the same time.3) The water temperature near the heat source will increase, but the water might be connected to a cooler object so that heat flows out of the water, too. It's possible that the average water temperature doesn't change. Imagine a pot of water on a small fire sitting outside in cold weather.
Is H2O hot water or cold water?
Water is always H2O whether it is hot water, cold water, ice, or steam.
When steam becomes cold it turns into?
As steam cools it reverts back to fluid-- water.
What do you call cold steam?
you breathe out water vapor
Will aluminium react with water?
Aluminum will not react with water at normal temperatures. Increase the temperature greatly, and just about any two things will react, though.
