A warm mist humidifier heats up the water causing steam to rise and humidify the air. A cool mist humidifier uses a wick filter which uses either a fan to blow through the filter and blowing the water in a fine mist or a metal diaphragm which vibrates water particles into the air.
Mist is composed of small, liquid water droplets, whereas steam is composed of water in its gas phase. Scientists came up with this model by observing water under various conditions.
No they are not the same. Steam is formed when water reaches boiling point then the water will start to evaporate to make water vapor. They then join particles in the air. Whenever there is a cold surface nearby the water will hit it and condense. Mist is formed when the ground cools and cools air close to it it causes condensation an water droplets form in the air.
