(For example, water has a critical temperature of 374 °C (647 K), which is the highest temperature at which liquid water can exist.)

Detailed explanation-3: -A vapor refers to a gas-phase material that that normally exists as a liquid or solid under a given set of conditions. As long as the temperature is below a certain point (the critical temperature; this varies for each substance), the vapor can be condensed into a liquid or solid with the application of pressure.
