Can the dew point temperature be greater than the air temperature? (1 point)

Question

Yes, as the dew point temperature depends only on the humidity

No, as this would mean that the air holds more water vapor than it can

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

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

No, as this would mean that the air holds more water vapor than it can.

The dew point temperature represents the temperature at which air becomes saturated with moisture and water vapor begins to condense into liquid water. Therefore, the dew point cannot be greater than the air temperature; if it were, it would indicate that the air is holding more moisture than it can, which is not physically possible.
