Can someone explain to me like I’m 5 years old how water doesn’t instantly turn to steam when a 5,000-degree piece of hot metal hits it? 🤔

@MmisterNobody Water will turn to steam if a 5000-degree piece of hot metal hits it. This image doesn't show that happening though.

@FaxiFirst @MmisterNobody Why would the surface still be 5000 degrees? It’s been in atmosphere for minutes
