Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The temperature to which air must be cooled for saturation to occur is called its dew point. This is the temperature at which the air is holding as much water vapor as it can and any further cooling will cause condensation to occur. Relative humidity is the amount of moisture in the air compared to the amount it can hold at a given temperature, precipitation is any form of moisture that falls from the sky, and condensation point is not a commonly used term in meteorology.
