When we boil water, we see "white clouds" coming out of the spout of the kettle. What are the white clouds?
Misconception:
The "white clouds" are steam.
Correct concept:
The "white clouds" are condensed water droplets. They are formed when the steam meets the cooler air in the surroundings, lose heat and condense to form water droplets.
The "white clouds" are not steam. Steam is in the gaseous state and cannot be seen.
