saturation point
point whereby one cannot dissolve any more solvent into the solution; satiety, satisfaction
Dew point
The dew point (or dewpoint) is the
temperature to which a given parcel of
air must be cooled, at constant
barometric pressure, for
water vapor to
condense into water. The condensed water is called
dew. The dew point is a
saturation point.When the dew point temperature falls below freezing it is called the frost point, as the water vapor no longer creates dew but instead creates
frost or hoarfrost by
deposition.The dew point is associated with relative
humidity. A high
relative humidity indicates that the dew point is closer to the current air temperature. If the relative humidity is 100%, the dew point is equal to the current temperature. Given a constant dew point, an increase in temperature will lead to a decrease in relative humidity. It is for this reason that equatorial climates can have low relative humidity, yet still feel humid.
