Can the dew point temperature be greater than the air temperature?(1 point) Responses No, as this would mean that the air holds more water vapor than it can. No, as this would mean that the air holds more water vapor than it can. Yes, as the dew point temperature depends only on the humidity. Yes, as the dew point temperature depends only on the humidity. No, as this would mean that the air does not hold any water vapor. No, as this would mean that the air does not hold any water vapor. Yes, as the dew point temperature does not depend on the air temperature.

The correct response is: No, as this would mean that the air holds more water vapor than it can.

The dew point temperature is the temperature at which air becomes saturated with moisture and water vapor begins to condense into liquid. Therefore, the dew point cannot be greater than the air temperature; when the dew point is equal to or greater than the current air temperature, it indicates that the air is saturated or supersaturated, which can lead to condensation (fog or dew formation).
