Best Answer

Water as a liquid does not sublime (go from solid to gas), but water ice does. This will occur at temperatures below 0°C, or between the boiling point (100°C) and the critical temperature (373.99°C).

At temperatures below 0°C, some ice molecules will enter dry air, especially at lower atmospheric pressures, when energy such as sunlight is added. This takes place when the formation of liquid water is not possible.

Liquid water does not sublime, but water ice does, going from a solid to gaseous state.

This occurs when energy is added to the ice molecules, but the formation of liquid is not possible due to the temperature (below 0°C, above 100°C). The molecules of ice go directly to a gas. This is most commonly seen where there is moving, very dry air.
