Steam

Steam is the gaseous form of water that occurs when water is heated to its boiling point. In this state, water molecules move rapidly and spread out, resulting in a visible mist or vapor above boiling water. Steam is commonly used in various applications, such as heating, cooking, and powering engines in trains and power plants. It can transfer heat efficiently and is also a critical component in numerous industrial processes. Understanding steam is important as it plays a vital role in energy production and can influence weather patterns through its presence in the atmosphere.
