Condensation is the name for the phase of a gas changing to a  liquid state. It is the opposite of vaporization, which is when a  liquid changes to a gas state.   An exaâ¦mple of condensation is when water vapor condenses on the  side of a cold bottle or glass when it makes contact with the  surface.
If you mean directly, it is by a process called sublimation where a gas turns right into a solid. If you mean in stages, first the gas cools down and the particles move sloweâ¦r and come closer together. The gas then turns into a liquid. This process is called condensation. Then, the liquid cools down and freezes. It then turns into a solid. This process is called solidification. Sorry for deleting the previous answer. Through the water cycle is not specific enough and could be wrong if you were asking how sublimation works and not how a gas turns into a solid in stages.
