sublimation
Water exists on land as a liquid or solid (ice) and in the air as a gas (water vapor).
Water vapor is the gaseous form of water that is invisible to the naked eye, while water ice is the solid form of water that is frozen at low temperatures. Water vapor is present in the atmosphere and plays a key role in the water cycle, while water ice is commonly found in the form of snow, icebergs, or glaciers.
There are three, solid, liquid, and gas. There are three, solid, liquid, and gas. There are three, solid, liquid, and gas.
H2O is water. It can be all three. As a solid, it is ice. As a liquid, it is water in the sense of bottled water. As a gas it is water vapor (an example of water vapor is steam).
Ice changes directly into water vapor through the process of sublimation when the temperature and pressure are below the ice's triple point. This transition skips the liquid phase, turning solid ice directly into water vapor in a process known as sublimation.
The process when steam goes directly to ice is called deposition. It involves the direct transition of water vapor (gas) to solid ice without passing through the liquid phase.

No. Vapor is a substance in its gaseous state. Ice is water in its solid state.
solid ice to vapor
When water vapor changes directly into ice without becoming a liquid first, it forms a process known as deposition. This occurs when the water vapor undergoes a phase transition from a gas to a solid, bypassing the liquid phase.
Water vapor can turn directly into solid ice through a process called deposition when the air temperature is cold enough that the vapor skips the liquid phase. This commonly occurs when water vapor in the air comes into contact with a surface or particle that is below freezing, causing it to directly transition into ice crystals without passing through the liquid state.
The process is called deposition - the direct transition of water vapor to ice without first becoming a liquid. This typically occurs when the air is very cold and the water vapor in the air condenses directly into ice crystals.
If the vapor pressure of the material of the solid is greater than the partial pressure of the same material in the atmosphere around it, it will turn to gas. The process of direct transition from solid to gas is called sublimation. Some solids, like dry ice (frozen CO2) will sublimate at room pressure. Others would require dropping the pressure very low. As an alternative, you could raise the temperature of the solid (consequently raising the vapor pressure) or get it to melt and then turn to gas when it boils.
A vapor changing into a solid goes through a process called deposition. One example of this process is frost forming on leaves.
Sublimation is a process that does not involve water vapor. Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid phase to the gas phase without passing through the liquid phase, such as when dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) turns into carbon dioxide gas.
In the water cycle, sublimation refers to the process by which water transforms from a solid (ice or snow) directly into water vapor without melting into a liquid first. This occurs primarily in cold environments when there is enough energy for the water molecules to transition from a solid state to a gaseous state.
Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas state without passing through the intermediate liquid phase. This process occurs when the atmospheric pressure is lower than the substance's equilibrium vapor pressure. Examples include dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) and mothballs (naphthalene).
