Dry ice is carbon dioxide in solid form. The temperature for carbon dioxide to become a solid is at least -109.3 degree F. When the dry ice is exposed to room temperature it changes from a solid directly to a gas which is called sublimation; it bypasses the liquid phase. The sudden drop in temperature causes water vapor to condense into tiny droplets, or fog.
