Explanation

Dew point is defined as the temperature at which the water vapour present in the air is just sufficient to saturate it.
The temperature at which the water vapor present in the air is just sufficient to saturate the air is called the dew point temperature. At this temperature, the air is holding the maximum amount of water vapor it can hold, and any further decrease in temperature will result in condensation or the formation of dew. The dew point temperature varies depending on the amount of moisture in the air.
