That's not quite right. Sublimation is the process of turning a solid directly into a gas, skipping the liquid phase entirely.

Here's an example:

* Dry ice (solid carbon dioxide) sublimates into carbon dioxide gas. You can see this happening when you place dry ice in a room, and it seems to disappear as it changes directly from solid to gas.

The process of turning a liquid into a gas is called vaporization or evaporation.
