Dry ice is commonly used for special effects in the entertainment industry due to its unique properties.
When dry ice is added to water, it creates a thick fog or mist effect as the solid carbon dioxide sublimates directly into carbon dioxide gas, without passing through a liquid phase.
This fog effect is often used to create eerie, mysterious atmospheres in stage productions, concerts, haunted houses, and film sets. Dry ice can also be used to simulate smoke or steam effects in various scenes.
Additionally, because dry ice produces a dense, low-lying fog that hugs the ground, it is ideal for creating dramatic visual effects that can enhance storytelling and captivate audiences.
