Best Answer

condensation


Answer

The surface of the leaves, car bodies, metal structures etc cools below the dewpoint of the air. This occurs in part due to radiative cooling of objects which become cooler than the surrounding air. Note that some "dew" on leaves is actually guttation, or exudation of water from the leaves themselves.

When there is too much water vapor in the air, it condenses and sinks onto plants and cars as dew.

Wht is the difference between dew and rain?

Dew is formed by condensation - the water from the air around the ground becomes heavy enough to form into droplets on any areas which are colder than the air.Rain is formed when water droplets condense above the ground and fall.


When the temperature equals the dew point the relative humidity is what?

Relative Humidity goes above 90%, that means there is dew or fog forming or has formed. Related Links will give you more information.
