When the rate of condensation of the gas becomes equal to the rate of evaporation of the liquid or solid, they are said to be in an equilibrium state. The amount of gas, liquid or solid no longer changes in this state.
Evaporation and Condensation are based upon the energy in the water molecules. If the water temperature (vapor) is above the surface temperature, it will evaporate. If the water temperature (vapor) is below the surface temperature it will condense. Evaporation and condensation are happening at the same time. We add the term "Net" at the beginning to show which is happening at a greater rate. The temperature at which there is net condensation is referred to as dew point.
These are all variables used to calculate evaporation rate: The larger the surface area the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the wind speed the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the temperature the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the relative humidity the lower the evaporation (rate)

The rate of evaporation relies on three main things. It varies according to the pressure, humidity and the atmospheric temperature.
Saturated
This is called an equilibrium.
condensation follows evaporation and involves clouds holding water until it is ready to rain. Temperature could speed the rate of evaporation and therefore increase the speed of condensation.

the rate of evaporation will be equal to the rate of condensation
In a system at constant vapor pressure, a dynamic equilibrium exists between the vapor and the liquid. The system is in equilibrium because the rate of evaporation of liquid equals the rate of condensation of vapor. -KarkatHorns
Evaporation, at a rate proportional to heat input and temperature specific to the fluid to a maximum set by the pressure.
The higher the temperature, the higher the rate of evaporation. It is
as the temperature increases, the rate of evaporation increases
Rate of evaporation depends on temperature. As Temp decreases, so does the rate of evaporation.
