    How does water vapor in the atmosphere form under normal conditions?

    To make sure I understand you correctly. The ph-diagram I'm referencing is really just the average and not representative of the whole? Although on average water boils at 212F @14.7 psia, in some circumstances water enters saturation at a much lower temperature condition (e.g. 75F @ 14.7 psia)...

    Other general terminology for clarity: Boiling point = bubble point Condensation point = dew point = Drybulb temp @ 100% RH = Wetbulb temp @ 100% RH

    How does water vapor in the atmosphere form under normal conditions?

    So I understand generally how humidity in atmospherics work but there's this one thing I can't reconcile with the fundamentals. First, my understanding of the basics. Water boils at 212 F @ 14.7 psia (1 ATM). At 213F @ 14.7 psia that water is now 1F superheated vapor. So we're all on the same...
