Water exists in our atmosphere in all three states. It is one of the features of water that makes it key to our survival. The other interesting thing about water is the fact that as a solid it is less dense than it is as a liquid which means ice will float in water. This allows fish to survive through the winter freezing of lakes and ponds.

How do you know that particles in a gas have more energy than particles of same substance as a liquid or a solid?
We know that for any given substance, and at a given pressure, the gas phase exists at a higher temperature than the liquid phase, which exists at a higher temperature than the solid phase. And temperature measures heat energy per molecule or atom, hence, gas particles have more energy than particles of the same substance in their liquid or solid phase.
