Steam
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009241
Water in its gaseous phase, formed when liquid water reaches its boiling point or evaporates. It is a colorless, invisible gas, though it often appears as a visible cloud when it condenses into tiny liquid water droplets or ice crystals in the air. In meteorology, atmospheric water vapor is the primary component of steam, influencing weather patterns and cloud formation.
