This reflects the fact that, at extremely high temperatures and pressures, the liquid and gaseous phases become indistinguishable, [3] in what is known as a supercritical fluid. In water, the critical point occurs at around T c = 647.096 K (373.946 °C), p c = 22.064 MPa (217.75 atm) and ρ c = 356 kg/m 3. [4]

According to a report published by the Water Footprint organization in 2010, a single kilogram of beef requires 15 thousand litres (3.3 × 10 ^ 3 imp gal; 4.0 × 10 ^ 3 US gal) of water; however, the authors also make clear that this is a global average and circumstantial factors determine the amount of water used in beef production.
Water softening – Removing positive ions from hard water; Water absorption; Heavy water – Form of water; Distilled water – Water that has had many of its impurities removed through distillation; Salinity – Proportion of salt dissolved in water Saline water – Water that contains a high concentration of dissolved salts
Water vapor reflects radar to a lesser extent than do water's other two phases. In the form of drops and ice crystals, water acts as a prism, which it does not do as an individual molecule; however, the existence of water vapor in the atmosphere causes the atmosphere to act as a giant prism. [49]
The water dimer consists of two water molecules loosely bound by a hydrogen bond. It is the smallest water cluster. Because it is the simplest model system for studying hydrogen bonding in water, it has been the target of many theoretical [1] [2] [3] (and later experimental) studies that it has been called a "theoretical Guinea pig".

Aerosol of microscopic water droplets suspended in the air above a cup of hot tea after the water vapor has sufficiently cooled and condensed. Water vapor is an invisible gas, but the clouds of condensed droplets refract and scatter the sunlight and are thus visible. Droplets of water vapor in a pan. Demonstration of evaporative cooling.
In the simplest form, water distillation or hydrodistillation, the water is mixed with the starting material in the boiling container. In direct steam distillation , the starting material is suspended above the water in the boiling flask, supported by a metal mesh or perforated screen.
