"Think first about the opposite: turning a solid into a gas. That is a common experience. Under ordinary conditions "dry ice", which is solid carbon dioxide, evaporates directly into a gas without first melting. (That's why it's called "dry".) The evaporation of a solid into a gaseous form is called "sublimation".
It also happens with ordinary ice when it is cold enough. Ice cubes in your freezer gradually shrink because they evaporate into water vapor, and ice on your sidewalk in the winter, if it stays cold enough, slowly evaporates without first melting. Now for your question. That evaporation of a solid into a gas can be reversed and the gas turned directly back into a solid without first becoming liquid. As long as the gas itself is at a low enough pressure it can be turned directly into a solid by cooling it to a low enough temperature. For example, you could start with the gas compressed and then suddenly release the pressure (as when you use a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher). That produces at the same time the low enough pressure AND the low enough temperature for the gas to turn solid without first becoming liquid, and you can actually see the flakes of solid that form."

What is the method to solidify a gas?
To turn a liquid into a solid you have to freeze it. To turn a gas into a solid you must first turn it into a liquid, then freeze it.
What is the name of tiny holes in a rock?

What does it mean when a something needs to solidify?
When something needs to solidify it is currently in a liquid form, such as water, and needs to solidify. One example could be when water is frozen it becomes ice, a frozen mass.
At which temp does magma solidify?
Magma can solidify at different temperatures depending on its composition. On average, most magma solidifies between 700°C and 1200°C. However, specific types of magma, such as basaltic magma, can solidify at lower temperatures, around 1000°C, while more silica-rich magmas may solidify at temperatures higher than 1200°C.

How do you make iodine gas back to solid iodine?
After the iodine is in gaseous form, contain and cap it off with an iced container to recollect it and turn it back into a solid by allowing the gas to rest. The temperature then has to be below 113.5°C in order to solidify.
