Sublimation

Imagine you're watching ice cubes in your freezer slowly disappear over time, even though they haven't melted into water. This is similar to the process of sublimation, where a solid changes directly into a gas without becoming a liquid first. Just like the ice seemingly vanishes into thin air, sublimation involves a solid (like dry ice) transitioning directly into a gas, bypassing the liquid stage entirely, much like those disappearing ice cubes.
