What is the dew point

The dew point is the temperature at which the air will become completely saturated. It is determined by the amount of moisture in the air, and the temperature. Fog will form when the temperature is close to the dew point.

Air conditioning is the perfect control system to maintain a steady atmospheric humidity in a unit. The atmospheric humidity is the quantity of water contained in the air in the form of vapours. When the amount of moisture held by air has reached the maximum by a giving temp, the air is said to b saturated and it is also called 'dew point'
It is the temperature of air at which the air can no longer contain all the moisture in it, and the moisture precipitates out as dew.
The definition of the word dew point is "the atmospheric temperature below which water droplets begin to condense and dew can form."
