Dew point is the temperature at which the air becomes saturated. At the dew point temperature the air usually condenses into either rain, mist or fog.

Process by which condensation occurrs,either by altittude or by a drop in tempreture,as the air is warm,its less dense and is able, to there fore hold more moisture.Increase the altittude or decrease the temprature and you have condensation where water bigins to form in droplets from a gas phase called Water vapor,to droplets of liquid precipitation.Eg;clouds=rain and etc;
This is caused by the heating of the earth suface through the sun,which cause evaperation,of moisture.

The point of which there is enough mosture in the air to create dew on the ground

the dew-point is the temperature at which the water vapor starts to condense;
its value depends on the atmospheric pressure

The temperature at which moisture in the air condenses and falls to earth as "dew".

The temperature at which the air will become saturated with water. At this temperature fog and condensation is highly likely to occur.

A measure of atmospheric moisture. It is the temperature to which air must be cooled in order to reach saturation (assuming air pressure and moisture content are constant).
