Ambient Temperature and Relative Humidity
The temperature at which air is saturated with water vapor is called the Dew Point. When surface temperature drops, eventually reaching the dew point, atmospheric water vapor condenses to form small droplets on the surface. This process distinguishes dew from those hydrometeors (meteorological occurrences of water) which are formed directly in air cooling to its dew point (typically around condensation nuclei) such as fog or clouds.

humidity & temperature
Though its a little more complicated than that .The amount of water vapor air can hold depends on temperature. The temperature at which air is saturated with water vapor is called the Dew Point. When surface temperature drops, eventually reaching the dew point, atmospheric water vapor condenses to form small droplets on the surface. This process distinguishes dew from those hydrometeors (meteorological occurrences of water) which are formed directly in air cooling to its dew point (typically around condensation nuclei) such as fog or clouds. The thermodynamic principles of formation, however, are virtually the same

Dew occurs when water vapour in some quantity condenses on blades of grass, rocks or any warm surface close to the ground.
It happens only in long winter nights, when temperatures are above 0 degrees celcius.

temperature and smooth surfaces
condensation (Dew)
the mist condenses on leaves and rocks and with the change of temperature in the early morning ,returns as water to the ground
condensation is an important part of precepitation evaporation is the other one
