Answers:
Water vapor in your breath will condense into a fog in temperatures below the freezing point. The expression in English is "you can see your breath". Technically, it's a fog, just like real fog or clouds.
It is water vapor - hold a glass or mirror in front of your mouth and breath out - you will see moisture on the mirror, just as you would in a hot shower. The gas that you are expelling is carbon dioxide.
It's not gas. It is our breath, and the reason it is visible is because it is warmer than the outside air.
It is called "breath" (breth).
carbon dioxide.
in english u generally call it mist or frost coming from the mouth.Got it???
Carbon dioxide.
To see this happen where you have the best view, put your arm under some warm running water from you tap. (it doesn't need to be hot just warm, you should just barely feel it if it's about 100-110 deg. F.) Next, while your arm is still wet, open up your freezer and put your arm inside. You'll see the same (gas) you saw on television. It's just water vapor at different temperatures and how they react within them. Have fun...
Smog.
I always say gees! its so cold i can see my breath! :P
