Every substance on Earth sits in one of four states, and heat is what moves it between them: ice melts, water boils, vapor condenses on a cold window. Sublimation skips the middle entirely, taking dry ice straight from solid to gas, while deposition runs it backwards into frost. The words here name the four states, the six transitions between them, and the particle motion underneath.
