Dew point temperature always gives an indication of the __________________ of the moist air ?
Correct answer: B. Moisture content
- A. Dryness
- B. Moisture content
- C. Coolness
- D. Latent heat
Explanation
Dew-point temperature is the temperature at which the air becomes saturated and condensation begins, so it reflects the moisture content of the air. It is not a direct measure of coolness or latent heat.
