The ​ (a)   at which ​ (b)   is 100% is called the ​ (c)   .

• temperature
• relative humidity
• dew point
• condensation

If the dew point is 55 F, that means __

• this is how cold it will feel on your skin when your sweat evaporates

• this is how cold it needs to be at night for dew to form

• this is how cold it needs to be at night for frost to form

• the dew is above 55 F

1. Clouds form at high altitudes because:

• it is cooler

• there is more air pressure

• it is warmer
