If the temperature outside is 90°F and the dew point it 50°F, if the temperature increases to 100°F what happens to the dew point?

Question

The dew point drops relative to the increase in temperature.

The dew point increases relative to the increase in temperature.

The dew point still remains at 50º F.

Answer 1

The dew point is a measure of the amount of moisture in the air; it represents the temperature at which air becomes saturated with moisture and can no longer hold all of it in the form of vapor.

If the temperature increases from 90°F to 100°F, the dew point will remain at 50°F, provided that the amount of moisture in the air does not change.

So, the correct answer is: The dew point still remains at 50°F.
