Dew point

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-003112

The temperature at which air becomes saturated with water vapor, leading to condensation and the formation of dew, fog, or clouds. Below this temperature, water vapor in the air will condense into liquid water. This value is a measure of atmospheric moisture content and is expressed in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit.
