If steam is formed at 100°C, what is being produced at 80-90°C?

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?

To add to what others are saying about water vapor vs. steam, unless you’re beign super exact, 100 degrees is the *average* temperature. Local pockets may be more or less as they get closer to or further away from a heat source. It’s possible you’re really seeing a bit of steam that hasn’t cooled down yet.
