Water vapor in the air condenses when the temperature drops to or below the dew point. At the dew point, the air is too dense to hold the amount of water vapor in the air. It's the same idea as sugar crystallizing out of water as it cools in order to make rock candy. (I know it's not exactly the same, but it's an easy to understand comparison)
