Air can mix with other gasses forming a solution just like water forms a solution with salt or sugar. With a liquid solution there is a limit to how much the water can absorb, and the maximum amount it can absorb depends on the temperature of the water. Solutions in air work the same way. As water evaporates, the water molecules can form a solution and be dissolved in air.
The maximum amount of water molecules dissolved in air depends on temperature (and air pressure). When the maximum amount is reached, the air becomes saturated with water and a change in temperature or pressure or more water entering the air can cause the water to leave the solution. It can result in fog or clouds forming which can result in rain, snow, etc.

What is the real definition of unsaturated hydrocarbons?
Unsaturated hydrocarbons are hydrocarbons which contain one or more double carbon bonds in the chemical structure. They can become saturated hydrocarbons in the event of chemical reactions which change the structure to have only single carbon bonds - for example this occurs to an extent when unsatured cooking oil becomes saturated during cooking and becomes more solid, saturated in content.
Is air saturated or unsaturated at sea level?
There is not enough information to determine this. Just being at sea level does not cause the air to have a specific saturation (humidity).
Where is the dirtiest place in the world?
The dirtiest place in the world in regards to air quality is Pakistan and China. The air is so saturated with pollution that soot covers most buildings and high rise structures.
Which is the shiny brown color element that becomes black in color when heated in air?

When water evaporates the air near the water's surface becomes cooler. Explain why this happened.?
Because of the latent heat of evaporation for water. Water at 100 degrees C requires approx 2260 kilojoules per kilogram to convert to water vapour. This amount of heat must be taken from the air near the water's surface and hence the cooling effect.
What do you call temperature at which air becomes saturated?
humidity
What do you call the temperatures at which air becomes saturated?
humidity
Using particle theory to explain how a solution becomes saturated?
how will you use the particle theory to explain why a saturated solution at 30 degreecelsius can become dilute at 70degree Celsius
When air is saturated?
when it holds all the water vapor it can hold
What is the definition of dewpoint?
The temperature at which air becomes saturated and produces dew
What forms when arie rises cools to a dew point and then becomes saturated?
what forms when air rises cools a dew point and then becomes saturated
What is the temperature at which moist air becomes saturated and forms dew called?
Dew point.
What might happen next when an air mass cools to the point where it becomes saturated?
Precipitation
What is the temperature at which air becomes saturated called?
The Dew Point.
When does a city experience 100 percent humidity?
when the air becomes saturated with water vapor by the temperature of the air reaching the dewpoint.
Is the dew point The temperature at which a gas deposits?
Dew point is the temperature at which air becomes saturated.
What forms when air mass becomes saturated with water?
This will cause condensation. You could get a cloud or dew.
