Solid carbon dioxide has the look and feel of ice (and is even colder). But it does not melt to a liquid, but sublimates to form a gas. So it is always dry.
Solidified Carbon Di Oxide is commonly known as dry ice. At temperature below -78.5oC, carbon di oxide converts into dry ice through sublimation.
Dry ice doesn't melt, it changes from a solid state, to a gas state, that's why it's called DRY ICE, there is no known way that it melts.

Solid CO2 is known as dry ice because it sublimes (changes from a solid to a gas) at temperatures above -78.5°C without passing through a liquid phase. This process gives the appearance of the solid CO2 "evaporating" into a gas, hence the term "dry ice".

It is known as Dry Ice
Solid carbon dioxide is known as "dry ice" because carbon dioxide as itself cannot exist in liquid form. Therefore, the ice is "dry," which is why it's called "dry ice." It looks like ice and it keeps things cold but it isn't wet.

Dry Ice.
Solid Carbon Dioxide is known as 'dry ice'.

Dry ice.
When dry ice is heated, it does not become liquid - but sublimes (turns straight into gas). This means that there is no liquid residue left behind, so it is called 'dry'.
Dry Ice is not a property rather a substance. Solid Carbon dioxide is known as 'Dry Ice' or 'Card Ice'. CO2 changes from solid to gas at −109.3 °F. Dry Ice is available in block and pellet forms. It is used as a coolant for preserving food; in fog machines; during plumbing etc.
