No. Dew is water vapor (humidity) coalescing after the ambient temperature drops below the dew point. In psychrometrics, given the temperature and relative humidity (read as a percentage) one can then determine the specific humidity (read as "grains per pound" or GPP (how many grains of water in a pound of air)) as well as the dew point. The dew you see in the morning on the grass and plants in your yard, or on the windshield, etc... is the same scientific principle as the water droplets that form on a glass of ice water. The short version: Air can only hold so much moisture at a given temperature, and if that air is cooled without removing the water, the air will become saturated and dew will form. EG: @ 85° and 60% relative humidity the specific humidity is 108 GPP and the dew point is 69°

What is happening to a parcel of air when the dew point decreases if th amount of water vapor remains constant?
As the dew point decreases, the water vapor remains constant because the dew point doesn't interfer with the water vapor.
Water vapor in the air condenses into liquid droplets when the water reaches .?
dew point
Do you know at what point dew forms?
The website that figures it out is beneath this answer. It depends on temperature and relative humidity.
What is liquid that condenses from water vapor on surface?
Condensation
As the air temperature increases with no addition of water vapor to the air the dew point will?
the dew point will drop
What is happening to a parcel of air when the dew point decreases if th amount of water vapor remains constant?
As the dew point decreases, the water vapor remains constant because the dew point doesn't interfer with the water vapor.
What starts with d and has to do with water vapor?

What is formed by the condensation of water vapor?
dew
Describe what happens when water vapor rises and cools to the dew point?
As water vapor cools to the dew point it converts from a gas back to a liquid.
Water vapor in the air condenses into liquid droplets when the water reaches .?
dew point
What does water vapor form when it condences?
water vapor forms a musk,dew,or left over water droplets
What is the dew point a mesurment of?
The Dew Point is a measurement of the water vapor in the air … the Humidity.
What is it called when dew changes to water vapor?
Evaporation.
What process is when water vapor changes to dew?
Condensation
What is caused by the condensation of vapor water?
Clouds Dew
What is the cause of condensation of water vapor?
Clouds Dew
Where does water to form dew comes from in deserts?
The moisture comes from the water vapor in the air. As the temperature drops to near the dew point, the water vapor condenses on cold surfaces in the desert.
