What is Saturated steam?

Saturated steam is like water that has turned into invisible ghosts, it’s still connected to its liquid form.

Imagine you have a pot of boiling water on the stove. As the water heats up, some of it turns into vapor, that's steam. Now, if the pot is covered and the heat stays just right, the steam doesn’t escape completely; instead, it stays close to the water, like a group of friends who never leave each other.

This kind of steam is called saturated steam because it’s just right, not too hot, not too cold. It’s in perfect balance with the liquid water below it. If you take away some of the heat, the steam might turn back into water droplets; if you add more heat, the steam will become lighter and faster, like when you blow on a hot soup.

If you've ever taken a hot shower and noticed that the air inside the bathroom becomes thick and heavy, almost like you can feel it pressing against your skin, that’s saturated steam in action. It's the same kind of invisible, touchable warmth you get from a kettle just after it starts to whistle.
