What's the difference between evaporation and sublimation?

Evaporation


Definition:

  • (n.) The process by which any substance is converted from a liquid state into, and carried off in, vapor; as, the evaporation of water, of ether, of camphor.
  • (n.) The transformation of a portion of a fluid into vapor, in order to obtain the fixed matter contained in it in a state of greater consistence.
  • (n.) That which is evaporated; vapor.
  • (n.) See Vaporization.

Sublimation


Definition:

  • (n.) The act or process of subliming, or the state or result of being sublimed.
