Hot water turns to steam through a process called evaporation. When water is heated, its molecules gain energy and move faster, eventually reaching a point where they can overcome the forces holding them together in the liquid state. As the temperature increases, some molecules escape into the air as vapor, forming steam. This phase change occurs at 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) at standard atmospheric pressure.
