Step-by-step explanation:

i) When we divide water vapor's partial pressure by the water's equilibrium vapor pressure at a given temperature we get relative humidity.

It is denoted by ∅


\phi ={\frac {p_ {H_(2)O} }{p_{H_(2)O} ^(*)}}

ii) When air is cooled so that it becomes saturated with water vapor the temperature where this occurs is called the dew point.
