Kondenseerimispunktini
Kondenseerimispunktini is a term used in Estonian to describe the dew point, which is the temperature to which air must be cooled to become saturated with water vapor. At this temperature, the air can hold no more moisture, and any further cooling will cause condensation to occur, forming dew, fog, or clouds. The dew point is an important factor in meteorology and affects humidity, the formation of precipitation, and the perception of comfort. It is a measure of the actual amount of water vapor in the air, independent of the air temperature. A higher dew point indicates more moisture in the air. For example, a dew point of 20°C signifies a much more humid atmosphere than a dew point of 5°C. Understanding the dew point is crucial for forecasting weather phenomena such as thunderstorms, fog, and frost. It also plays a role in various industrial processes and in the design of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. The dew point is always lower than or equal to the air temperature. When the dew point equals the air temperature, saturation occurs, and condensation begins.
