What occurs when air rises cools to its dew point and becomes saturated?

the air becomes saturated. if the temperature continues to lower, the excess moisture in the air must condense because the dew point represents the temperature at which condensation will occur

∙ 12y agoThis is how clouds form. They are made of tiny drops of water that have condensed out of water vapor in the air. They cannot form raindrops unless they are cooled further. At ground level, this saturated air is called fog. At high altitude, where the air is below freezing, the condensate forms ice crystals instead, which are what make up cirrus clouds and contrails.

How does air temperature affect precipitation?
Warm air holds more moisture than cold air. When the air has reached "saturation point" (ie. it cannot hold any more moisture), it is more likely to cause precipitation as the oversaturated air forms moisture droplets that fall as precipitation. One of the major causes of precipitation is when warm air cools rapidly (for example, when it rises after hitting a mountain front or other landmass). As the warm air cools, it loses its ability to retain moisture and becomes saturated, thus creating precipitation.
How does a graph show a saturated solution and a unsaturated solution?
A graph can illustrate what solution is saturated and unsaturated. If the point is on the line, then the solution is saturated, while if is below the line, the solution is unsaturated.
What is it called when a liquid becomes a gas a gas becomes a liquid a solid becomes a gas?
The point at which a liquid becomes a gas is the boiling point. The point at which a gas becomes a liquid is still called the boiling point. A solid going straight to gas without passing through a liquid state is called sublimation. Dry Ice solid CO2 is a substance that that sublimes.
The temperature at which water vapor begins to condense on solid objects is called the dew point?
Condensation is driven by a dynamic balance between water molecules hitting a surface and becoming stuck because they don't have enough thermal energy to escape and water molecules already part of the liquid getting enough thermal energy to escape. At all times there are some molecules sticking and escaping. The dew point is where more get stuck than escape; below the dewpoint more are getting stuck, so the quantity of stuck water molecules increases.
If water has become saturated will it continue to dissolve salt?
No, but the higher the liquid temperature, the higher the saturation point and the more salt that can be dissolved.
