The reason for asking is we have an extract fan fitted in the kitchen our bungalow ,the ceiling in the kitchen is approx 7ft 6 ins high .The fan is fitted on the ceiling above the cooker .

Clouds in the sky are basically steam - does that answer your question ?

Seriously tho', steam is water droplets which rapidly become vaporised provided the surrounding air is dry enough - but of course the air becomes "damper" as a result which gives rise to problems of condensation/mould etc. Your extractor fan above the saucepan will draw this damp air out, whether it is still steam or has become (invisible) vapour.

The sky is not the limit. Water vapour is continuously lost to space.

Some scientists believe this loss contributes to the water found on the Moon.
