Why is the dew point never the same?

The dew point is the temperature at which a given parcel of humid air must be cooled, at constant barometric pressure, for water vapor to condense into water. The condensed water is called dew. The dew point is a saturation temperature.

The dew point is associated with relative humidity. A high relative-humidity indicates that the dew point is closer to the current air temperature. Relative humidity of 100% indicates the dew point is equal to the current temperature and the air is maximally saturated with water. When the dew point remains constant and temperature increases, relative humidity will decrease

Therefore, by the above stated reasons (of humidity and barometric pressure and saturation based on temperature) are all reasons the point at wick dew forms is not the same because the regions them selves vary and thus these relative factors maybe dissimilar.

They are the same.


Is Dew point is always the same?

No. (It has a very wide range.)


Why isn't dew point always the same?

The dew point is a measure of the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. As the temperature gets closer to the dew point, the humidity rises. When the temperature finally drops to the dew point (100% humidity), the the atmosphere is completely saturated with water, and it will start to rain (or snow, if the dew point is below freezing). Since the atmosphere is completely saturated when the temperature is at the dew point, it cannot go below the dew point.


Is dew point and humidity the same?

Dew point and humidity are related but not the same. Humidity measures the amount of water vapor in the air as a percentage of the maximum amount the air can hold at a given temperature. Dew point is the temperature at which air becomes saturated with water vapor and dew forms. It is a more accurate measure of moisture content in the air.


As the air temperature increases with no addition of water vapor to the air the dew point will?

As the air temperature increases with no addition of water vapor, the dew point will stay the same or decrease. The dew point represents the temperature at which air becomes saturated with water vapor, so if there is no additional water vapor added, the dew point will remain constant or decrease as the air temperature increases.


How is dew point different from condensation?

the realationship between condensation and dew point is that condensation occurs when it reaches the dew point.
