There are two stars in this system, an A and a B star. Alpha Centauri A is around 5790 degrees Kelvin, while the B star is around 5260 degrees Kelvin (surface temperatures).

Approximately 5,260 Kelvin. Very close to our own Sun.

What is the approximate temperature of the dew point at sea level?

The approximate dew point at sea level is dependent on more than just the sea level itself. Calculating dew point requires the air temperature as well as relative humidity. So in a general sense, there is no difference in dew point based on elevation if the temperature is the same.

What is the temperature at which air can no longer hold all the water vapor?

That's an approximate definition of saturation. And the temperature at which the current amount of water vapor in the air would be the saturation point is called the dew point. The dew point is a measure of absolute humidity.


What is the approximate temperature of the sun's corona?

The corona is the region of the sun from the surface to about 1 million kilometers into space. Temperatures in the corona can reach as high as two million degree Fahrenheit.


What type of cloud has the lowest condensation level?

An approximate value can be calculated by the following expression: Condensation Level (in feet) = [Surface Temperature(F) - Surface Dew Point Temperature(F)]*(1000/2.2) or Condensation Level (in meters) = [Surface Temperature(C) - Surface Dew Point Temperature(C)]*(200) Solution: Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate (DALR) => -5.5 F/1000 ft of altitude (-1C/100m) Saturated Adiabatic Lapse Rate (SALR) => -3.3F/1000ft of altitude (-0.5C/100m) The SALR is not linear and varies with the initial surface temperature The Level of Condensation will occur at the altitude where the Air Temperature is equal to the Dew Point temperature at that altitude. Setting the two equations equal to each other will give an approximate value. TA: temperature at altitude; TS: temperature at surface; DA: dew point temperature at altitude; DS: dew point temperature at surface TA = TS-(5.5F/1000ft)*altitude or TS-(1C/100m)*altitude DA = DS-(3.3F/1000ft)*altitude or DS-(0.5C/100m)*altitude Setting TA = DA and rearranging quantities gives the equations given above The level of condensation derived by the above method will only yield an approximate value.
