Sublimation is the conversion of a substance directly from its solid state to gaseous state without passing through the liquid state. Only certain substances are capable of such a change.

Moth balls (napthalene) are one of these substances. The solid moth balls diminish over time but we never see the liquid naphthalene floating around. They directly turn into gas.
