what is condensation point?


The condensation point is a temperature at which gas changes to a liquid. Generally, the boiling point is the same as the condensation point. For water boiling point is 100C, 212F. So, the condensation point is also 212F.

Condensation is the process where water vapor becomes liquid. It is the reverse of evaporation, where liquid water becomes a vapor. Condensation happens one of two ways: Either the air is cooled to its dew point or it becomes so saturated with water vapor that it cannot hold any more water.

After condensation, the water vapour or the moisture in the atmosphere takes one of the following forms — dew, frost, fog, and clouds. Condensation takes place when the dew point is lower than the freezing point as well as higher than the freezing point.
