Water can take several forms. When it gets cold and freezes, it becomes ice. When it gets hot and evaporates, it becomes steam. Steam can be used to power trains and cook food. Steam is invisible, but it condenses to form tiny floating water droplets in the air, and people call this white mist “steam” as well.

水は様々な状態に変化します。冷えて凍ると氷になります。温まると蒸気になります。蒸気は蒸気機関車や料理に利用されます。蒸気は目に見えませんが、空気中で小さな水滴になり、この白い霧も「steam」と呼ばれることがあります。
