the for most parts and intents is not really a good distinctintion. i did not go into details, mostly because it is a unrelated thing, but for most things, you can gradually transition from liquid phase to gas phase, without a proper transition. this is called a super critical fluid. consider like this, ice in solid form is not really “miscible” in liquid form. gasses and liquids of same stuff can mix. a
The easiest way to tell them apart is that gas is compressible while liquid for most intents and purposes, essentially isn’t.
