Dew Point

Dew Point is the

• temperature air cools down to reach condensation (or turn into a liquid)

• temperature where ice melts to liquid water

• temperature where ice turns directly into water vapor

• time of day when dew on the ground disappears

Dew is most likely to form 

• after heavy rain on a humid day

• when humid air contacts cold ground

• when the snow on the ground melts

• during windy nights when it rains

The temperature to which air must be cooled in order to become saturated is the: 

• Relative Humidity

• Mixing Ratio

• Dew Point Temperature

• Wet-bulb Temperature

What will happen if the relative humidity is 100%, and the temperature begins falling?

• The air will be sticky and uncomfortable

• Dew will form

• The temperature will rise

• The atmospheric pressure will fall

The phase change from water vapor to liquid water is known as:

• evaporation

• precipitation

• condensation

• sublimation

If the air is "saturated", that means:

• the air is full of water

• the air is partially full of water

• it's amount of water vapor in the atmosphere right now

• how much liquid water it potentially can hold

As the air temperature increases, the air's capacity for water vapor: 

• increases

• decreases

• remains the same

• is unrelated to air temperature and can either increase or decrease

Water droplets that condense from the air onto cool surfaces near the ground are called....

• fog

• precipitation

• dew

• icicles

The temperature at which water condenses is referred to as the

• relative humidity

• dewpoint

• 50% humidity

• freezing point

• 16°

• 5°

• 11°

• 7°
