Steam is formed at 100°C but I see “steam” being produced at less than that temperature. What is that and why isn’t it steam?

It first must take in energy to transform from a liquid into a gas, knwon as the heat of enthalpy. This is also true for water turning into ice and ice into water, it doesn’t happen instantly at 0c.
