Do you mean at what temperature does air turn into a liquid or at what temperature does water condense out of the air?
If the latter then air itself has not water in it and thus can never turn into water. It's the moisture (water vapor) in the air that will condense out of the air and turn into a liquid. This begins to occur at the dew point which depends on the how much moisture there is in the first place (humidity), the pressure, and the temperature. For example, current conditions where I am: Temp = 74 F, Pressure = 29.97 inches, Relative Humidity = 44%, dew point = 51 F. So this means that if we keep the pressure constant and drop the temperature to 51 F, water will begin to condense out of the air.
If the former then, that's harder (for me anyway to answer). Usually the air is compressed AND cooled. At atmospheric pressure, the temperature would need to be extremely low for liquification. Nitrogen has a boiling temp of -195.8 C (the other gases boil at higher temps) so you would need to get the temperature below that.

What temperature does water turn into gas what is the name of this point?
The boiling point is the temperature at which water turns into a gas.
Can solid turn into liquid?
Yes. Every solid has a melting temperature above which (hotter) it is a liquid and beneath which (colder) it is a solid. Answer For example, water becomes ice at zero degrees Celsius / 32 degrees Fahrenheit. That temperature is the melting temperature for ice. Hotter than that temperature will turn ice into water, and colder than that temperature will turn water into ice. 0 degrees Celsius is also called the triple point because water, ice, and water vapor can all exist at that temperature without changing their forms. In other words, at that temperature, ice can stay ice, water can stay water, and water vapor can stay water vapor.
Why does filling a plastic bottle with cold water cause moisture on the outside of the bottleg?
The dew point is the temperature at which vapor in the air will condense and turn into liquid. The dew point is determined by the air temperature, pressure and relative humidity. Consequently, when vapor in the air comes into contact with the edge of the bottle (which, if the water is cold, is below dew point) it condenses and forms liquid on the outside of the bottle.
What is the affected by surface elevation water vapor and temperature?
air pressure
Can you turn steam back into water again?
yes. cool the air and the water will condense.
How does water go to the air?
Water turn into a gas called water vapour. The air depending on its temperature will hold a certain amount of this. when the air comes into contact with water if the humidity of the air is such that it can hold more water vapour then the water that is touching the air will turn into the gas water vapour and become part of the air. it will do this at any temperature which explains why you can hang clothes out to drying sub zero temperatures and they dry.
How does air temperature affect air temperature?
Air temperature greatly affects water temperature. When the sun is strong, it increases the temperature of the air and water. On the other hand, when the sun is less intense, the temperature of the air and water decreases.
Do outdoor pools have thermostats that are controlled by air temperature?
No. It would be very uncommon for a thermostat to determine whether to turn the pool heater on based on the outdoor AIR temperature. All pool thermostats monitor the WATER temperature. In this way, they keep the water at a predetermined temperature (just like your house thermostat). When the water is cooler than the predetermined setting, the thermostat turns the heater on. When the water is cooler than the preset temperature, the heater is turned off. In this manner the pool water maintains the desired temperature regardless of changes in the air temperature. You could re-wire your thermostat to use air temperature rather than water temperature to turn the pool heater on/off so that whenever the AIR becomes colder than a preset temperature (and for as long as the air temperature stayed below that value), the heater would come on. The potential problem with this arrangement is that the heater could be continually on (as long as the air stayed cooler than the preset value) and the water would be continuously heated to a VERY high temperature! Conversely, if the air were continually warmer than the preset value, the heater might never turn on. Hope this helps ...
How does temperature affect amount of vapor in the air?
The warmer the temperature, the more water vapor in the air. The colder the temperature, the less water vapor in the air.
What does water and land have to do with air temperature?
Water and land can affect the temperature
What is the evaporation rate of water?
That is not a standard quantity. It depends on temperature, surface area and air movement.
Is air temperature or water temperature more important to evaporation?
Air Temperature, because the surface of the water is the only thing that needs to be heated so the warmer the air temperature, the faster the air can heat the surface of the water the faster evaporation will be able to occur,
What will happen to the water vapor in the air if the temperature drops as predicted?
When the temperature drops the less water vapor in the air
What will happened to the water vapor in the air if the temperature drops as predicted?
When the temperature drops the less water vapor in the air
When water evapourates into the air how can you catch the water and get it back into liquid?
two steps. Catch it with a platic bag over the top of the tube. Lower the temperature and it will turn back to water.
Does air temperature affect water temperature?
yes
Does a red apple age faster in room temperature air or in a bowl of room temperature water?
Room temperature air. The water keeps it fresher.
