  • Understanding the Dew Point: Definition & Explanation
    The point at which the air becomes saturated with water molecules due to cooling is called the dew point.

    Here's why:

    * Saturation: When air reaches its dew point, it can no longer hold all the water vapor it contains.

    * Cooling: As air cools, the capacity for holding water vapor decreases.

    * Condensation: When the air cools to its dew point, the excess water vapor condenses into liquid water, forming dew, fog, or clouds.
