Answer to Question 1

Answer: Air can become saturated by any one of three general processes: adding water vapor to the air; mixing cold air with warm, moist air; and lowering the temperature to the dew point.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: This is an example of steam fog. The water from the shower cools the pavement to the point of saturation. It should also be pointed out that the additional moisture provided by the shower promotes saturation.
