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.
