Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dew point temperature is the temperature at which the air becomes saturated and condensation forms, indicating the actual amount of water vapor present in the air regardless of temperature or pressure. The other options are related to the amount of moisture that the air can hold (saturation vapor pressure, mixing ratio) or the relationship between the amount of water vapor present and the maximum amount that the air can hold at a given temperature (relative humidity).
