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.

Gas changing in to liquid?
a gas turns into a liquid when a hot gas (such as your breath) hits a cold surface (Such as a cold window) The gas suddenly gets cold and forms little liquid molecules (Which in my examples case is water). This process is called condensation
Why Does A Runny Mixture Become Solid?
Because when it hits the cold tray it starts to set hard
What happens to light when it hits an unpainted wooden door?
most of the light is absorbed, particularly compared to a painted door
The white mist that form above the spout of a kettle of boiling water is what?
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.
Why do some substances crystallise while some don't?
Igneous rocks are formed when liquid rock (magma underground, or lava on the surface) cools down and solidifies. If cooling is slow, usually underground, the minerals have time to form large, visible crystals, e.g. in granite. If cooling is faster, on the surface of the Earth, the crystals can usually only be seen with a microscope. Occasionally, the lava cools extremely rapidly, for instance when lava hits cold water, and there is no time for any crystal formation. This results in a volcanic glass such as obsidian.
What happens when steam hits a cold object like a plate?
The steam will condense and transfer its heat energy to the object.
What happens when light hits a rough surface?
when light hits a rough surface it scattters.
What happens to the sunlight that hits the surface of the Earth?
Sunlight that hits the Earth's surface is absorbed by the Earth. It is then reflected back.
What happens when sound hits a surface?
It bounces back.
What is the exmples of liquid to gas?
steam hits a cold surface makes a liquid. also known as condensation
What happens when hits a black surface?
im assuming that u meant "what happens when LIGHT hits a black surface?" the reason for this is that the black surface ABSORBS the light, and so none of the light waves can be reflected back (which is what makes it look black)
What happens when water vapor hits the cold atmosphere?
Fog.It makes fog.
What Happens To Radiation When It Hits Eath's Surface?
the thingy hits the earht and everybody dies !!! The radiation will either be absorbed or reflected.
When a cold front comes through what happens to the warm air?
When a cold front hits, usually the warm air rises.
What happens when light rays hits a very smooth surface?
It is reflected at the same angle to the normal. The normal is a line perpendicular to the surface.
What happens when sunlight hits a surface?
The sunlight will be absorbed by the surface.If the surface is a mirror,lesser light will be absorbed.More will be reflected. If the surface is black,more light will be absorbed.
Why do people breathe out water vapor on winter days?
Steam is created when the cold air hits warm breath.The reaction of the warm breath hitting the cold air creates steam. Steam is water in vapor form.
