Steam is usually 100 degrees celsius. If you took chemistry, you will know that there is no temperature change during a phase change. However after the phase change has occurred the steam can keep increasing in temperature. that is why your hand will burn quicker and more severely in steam than in boiling water. This is because steam has more energy, and the def of temp is average Kinetic energy. there you have it, steam does have more temp than boiling water.

Yes. Water boils at 100°C, and once it becomes steam, it can be any temperature higher than that. In fact, usually steam is used at temperatures above 500°C

RE:
what is the temperature of steam ? Is it higher than 100C ?

Steam will stay at about 100 C (depending on the pressure) as long as it is in equilibrium with a partially liquid phase. Until the liquid is all evaporated, the heat goes into evaporation, not a temp increase. Once the liquid is all evaporated, the temperature of the steam will rise again - this is called superheated steam.

No it is not. Because at 100C/1atm, there can be no condensation - the original liquid would convert to steam, and the steam would remain steam because of the temperature... to have distillation, you have to have condensation... and at that temp, you would have none.

At normal atmospheric pressure, water can exist in gaseous form (i.e., steam) at any temperature at or above 100 C. In other words, 100 C is the boiling point for water at 1 atmosphere of pressure.
However, if you decrease the pressure, the boiling point will go down, meaning water can boil (and become steam) at a lower temperature. Increasing the pressure raises the boiling point.

It can be higher. That would be "superheated" steam. The steam that is used in turbines is usually superheated, since it can carry more energy that way, and also since it is under pressure.
