Explain how air becomes saturated?
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.
Would dew point temperature be close to that of the air temperature if there is heavy fog on the ground?
Yes! In fact, the air temperature and dewpoint should be exactly the same during heavy fog.
What conditions in the air favor condensation of water?
saturated air and dewpoint temperature much lower than air temperature
Why does relative humidity depend on air temperature?
Relative Humidity is the ratio of the mass of vapour present in a certain volume of air to the mass of water vapour required to saturate the same volume of air at the same temperature. Another way of defining relative humidity is related to dew point. I.e relative humidity=s.v.p at dew point over s.v.p at air temperature multiply by 100%. And dew point is dependent upon prevalent atmospheric conditions like TEMPERATURE,wind and the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere.
Taking heat out of the air will do what to the temperature?
Removing heat from the air will lower its temperature.
Is the dew point The temperature at which a gas deposits?
Dew point is the temperature at which air becomes saturated.
What is the temperature at which air becomes saturated called?
The Dew Point.
What is the temperature at which moist air becomes saturated and forms dew called?
Dew point.
What is a sentence for the word dew point?
εїз The temperature at which air becomes saturated is its dew point. εїз ✿ there is no apostrophe in its if you were wondering. ✿
What do you call temperature at which air becomes saturated?
humidity
at which temperature the water condense?
Water will start to condense onto objects when the air becomes "saturated" - when the temperature drops to the dew point (at which point the relative humidity will be 100%).
When a parcel of air of air is cooled to the temperature at which it is saturated it has reached what?
When a paracel of air is cooled to the temperature at which it is saturated, it has reached its dew point.
Is air saturated when the dew point temperature and the air temperature coincide?
Yes.
What is the the temperature to which air must cool to be saturated?
Dew pointThe dew point is the temperature to which air must cool to be saturated.
What is the temperature to which air must cool to be saturated?
Dew pointThe dew point is the temperature to which air must cool to be saturated.
What is the temperature at which air is saturated with water?
The Dew Point.
What is the definition of dewpoint?
The temperature at which air becomes saturated and produces dew
