terms:dew_point
The temperature and pressure at which a liquid begins to condense out of a gas. For example, if a constant pressure is held on a certain volume of gas but the temperature is reduced, a point is reached at which droplets of liquid condense out of the gas. That point is the dew point of the gas at that pressure. Similarly, if a constant temperature is maintained on a volume of gas but the pressure is increased, the point at which liquid begins to condense is the dew point at that temperature. Compare bubble point.
