Supersaturation is a state of a solution that contains more of the dissolved material than could be dissolved by the solvent under normal circumstances. It can also refer to a vapor of a compound that has a higher (partial) pressure than the vapor pressure of that compound. == Condensation == Very small particles (seeds) can trigger the separation...

The condition which occurs in the atmosphere when the relative humidity is greater than 100 percent.
The unstable state of a solution that contains more solute than its solubility allows.
the condition of containing more solute in solution than would normally be present at the existing temperature. 
Su`per·sat`u·ra'tion noun The operation of supersaturating, or the state of being supersaturated. 
The unstable state of a solution that contains more solute than its solubility allows.
The condition which occurs in the atmosphere when the relative humidity is greater than 100 percent.
supersaturation 1. The production of a solution, usually by evaporation of a solvent; which is more concentrated than one in equilibrium with pure solute. 2. An amount of a substance greater than that required for saturation as a result of having been cooled from a higher temperature to a temperature below that at which saturation occurs.
the condition which occurs in the atmosphere when the relative humidity is greater than 100%.
State of a solution that has a higher concentration of solute than would normally be obtained in a saturated solution. Many solutes have a higher solubility at high temperatures. If a hot saturated solution is cooled slowly, sometimes the excess solute does not come out of solution. This is an unstable situation and the introduction of a small soli...
