Frost
Rain, snow, and dew all form through the process of condensation. Rain occurs when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into droplets that become heavy enough to fall to the ground as precipitation. Snow forms when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes into ice crystals, which then fall to the ground. Dew forms when water vapor in the air condenses onto cool surfaces, like grass or leaves, overnight.
Rime frost is freezing water vapor that condenses at ground level.
That trail is called a contrail, which is short for "condensation trail." It forms when water vapor from the engine exhaust condenses and freezes into ice crystals in the cold air at high altitudes.
It is called fog. Fog is formed when water vapor condenses into tiny water droplets near the ground, reducing visibility.
Snow forms when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes directly into ice crystals, bypassing the liquid stage. These ice crystals then join together to form snowflakes. Precipitation occurs when these snowflakes fall to the ground.
Snow forms when water vapor in a cloud condenses directly into ice crystals, bypassing the liquid stage. These ice crystals then continue to grow in the cloud until they become heavy enough to fall to the ground as snowflakes.

Six-sided ice crystals are commonly referred to as snowflakes. Snowflakes form when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses and freezes into intricate hexagonal shapes as they fall to the ground. Each snowflake's unique pattern is determined by the temperature and humidity levels it encounters during its formation.
It condenses out as droplets or ice crystals.
Snow crystals form when water vapor condenses directly into ice. This happens in the clouds.
White frozen water vapor is called snow. It forms when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes into ice crystals, which then fall to the ground as snowflakes.

The air, when water vapor particles are cooled to solids.
