When it comes into contact with a frozen droplet, it forms a snowflake.
A gas can't turn directly into a solid but a solid can turn into gas for example ice to water vapor.
Water is an example of an object that can turn into the three states of matter: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (water vapor). By changing its temperature, water can transition between these states.
Water vapor can turn directly into solid ice through a process called deposition when the air temperature is cold enough that the vapor skips the liquid phase. This commonly occurs when water vapor in the air comes into contact with a surface or particle that is below freezing, causing it to directly transition into ice crystals without passing through the liquid state.
Precipitation.
The boiling water will evaporate (turn to vapor). The ice will melt (turn to liquid) and then begin to evaporate (turn to vapor). The tap water will begin to evaporate (turn to vapor).
The most obvious answer is that the vapor will condense rapidly, even possibly before your eyes. By condense, I mean that the vapor will quickly turn into a liquid state. It will then freeze into a solid state (ice).
Yes. Every solid has a melting temperature above which (hotter) it is a liquid and beneath which (colder) it is a solid. Answer For example, water becomes ice at zero degrees Celsius / 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That temperature is the melting temperature for ice. Hotter than that temperature will turn ice into water, and colder than that temperature will turn water into ice. 0 degrees Celsius is also called the triple point because water, ice, and water vapor can all exist at that temperature without changing their forms. In other words, at that temperature, ice can stay ice, water can stay water, and water vapor can stay water vapor.
Ice melting and evaporating.
Boiling water turns to vapor in the cold because the temperature difference between the hot water and the cold air causes the water to evaporate and turn into vapor.
The liquid state of water in a puddle can evaporate and turn into water vapor, causing the puddle to disappear.
Condensation
No, when water is cooled, it typically transforms into ice (solid form) first before turning into water vapor (gas form) through the process of evaporation or boiling. Water vapor is the gaseous state of water that is formed when liquid water boils or evaporates.
