Steam is water that's heated to two hundred twelve degrees Fahrenheit. Believe it or not, steam is invisible-you can see right through it! If you look closely at the end of your kettle's spout, you'll notice that the white stuff doesn't start right away. It begins billowing about half an inch away from the nozzle, with clear gas in between. This clear gas is the actual steam. The billowy white stuff is what the steam turns into when it hits the drier, cooler air of your kitchen.
Those white billows are, in fact, clouds, not steam. In many ways, they are identical to the clouds you can see in the sky. The white color comes from tiny liquid water droplets that have condensed from the steam.

Is tiny water droplets seen at the spout of the kettle?
Yes. Water droplets are seen at the spout of the kettle. Water vapour from the boiling water is condensed with the surrounding air(which is cooler)to form water droplets.
What is the boiling point of a kettle?
That would be the boiling point of water, or somewhere below if the kettle is faulty. The boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius.That would be 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is the state of mater of water vapor?
Water vapour is not a gas. We can not see gas. Once we see the water vapour as droplets in the air then it is small liquid droplets of water. The steam that we see above the kettle is again condensed droplets of water that have lost the energy to maintain their gaseous existence. Close to the spout of the kettle we cannot see steam because that is where there is the gas molecules of water. If you can see it then it is a liquid. Humidity in the air is a gas.
The gas that comes out from the kettle during boiling is steam or water vapour?
steam
Can hot water kettles explode?
yes. If you leave it boiling at high temperatures for a certain period of time, the steam produced will be too much for the kettle, and that's when you hear the whistling sound. And if you ignore the kettle and leave it continously boiling, there comes a time when the situation falls over the edge, causing the kettle to blow up in 25m diametre. The rate of the procces depends on the size of the kettle and the temperature.

Why does a tea kettle sing?
When boiling water, the steam produced escapes through a small hole in the kettle's spout. The vibrating steam creates the whistling sound we hear, signaling that the water has reached the boiling point.
How a normal kettle works?
A normal kettle is a semi-closed metal container (with lid and spout) of water. When placed on a flame, the water inside the kettle heats up until it reaches boiling point. It is then ready to be taken off the flame and the boiling water poured into a teapot, or some other beverage, etc.

Actually, the steam part is not actually steam, but water vapour. If you look closely at a boiling kettle, there is a clear space between the spout and the actual (steam). That clear space is the steam, which is invisible. What appears afterwards is water vapour.
What is the different between vapour and steam?

What is water in gas form called?
Steam, which can't be seen, not to be confused with the white clouds that come from a boiling kettle that is water vapour or condensed steam. If you look closely at the spout of a boiling kettle you will see that close to the spout it is clear that is steam or water in its gas form.
What is the boiling point of a kettle?

Why is there high pressure in the mantle?
If you imagine the world as a kettle of boiling water, standing on a lit gas ring. While the steam escapes through the spout, all is well. But if the spout and lid was to become blocked, the steam would create a growing pressure inside the kettle. Eventually, the kettle would burst and the pressure is suddenly released. A bursting kettle is like an erupting volcano, releasing some of the pressure that had built up below the mantle.
Is boiling water in a kettle convection?
