Condensation occurs when warm air hits a cooler surface and the moisture from the warm air forms on the cooler surface. In meteorology, condensation is water that is collected as droplets onto a cloud surface when humid or warm air gets in to contact with it.

Condensation occurs when a gas or vapor cools and changes into a liquid. This typically happens when the temperature of the gas decreases, causing the particles to come closer together and form liquid droplets. It is a common process in the water cycle, where water vapor in the air condenses to form clouds or dew.

Before condensation can occur, the relative humidity must be 100%. This means that the air is saturated with moisture and cannot hold any more water vapor, resulting in it condensing into liquid.
This process is called condensation.
If dew point and the air temperature are the same, condensation may occur but all the given conditions guarantee is that any liquid water that might be present will be in equilibrium with the moisture in the air so any evaporation that might occur will be matched with some condensation somewhere and any condensation that might occur would have to be matched by some evaporation elsewhere.
