If a surface does not reach dew point though air has moisture why will dew not form?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Sufficient cooling of surface is necessary for condensation

Direct answer: B is correct. Dew forms when a surface cools to its dew point, the temperature at which the nearby air becomes saturated with water vapour. Moisture in the air is necessary, but it is not sufficient by itself. First, the surface usually loses heat, especially at night. The air touching it cools; if that cooling reaches the dew point, some vapour condenses into liquid droplets on the surface. If the surface remains warmer than the dew point, the nearby air does not become saturated and condensation does not begin, even though moisture is present. A is wrong because moisture does not always become frost; frost requires freezing conditions and ice deposition. C is wrong because dew is directly related to water vapour. D is wrong because dew forms on exposed surfaces, not only in clouds. Memory cue: moisture plus cooling to dew point is needed.
