At 0 degrees celsius, pressure of 1000 mbar, and 100% relativity humidity, absolute humidity would would be 4.86564 g/m^3

Why is there a limit on the amount of water vapor the air can hold?
It takes a lot of energy to turn water into water vapor. The amount of energy that the water gains to turn into water vapor begins to be transferred into the surrounding air. If the air is willing to take on more energy the water vapor condenses quicker. This is why hot air will hold more water vapor than cold air.
What is the substance the makes a window fog up when you breathe on it?
It's the water vapor in your breath, after it becomes liquid water. Warmer air is able to hold more water vapor than cooler air. When you breathe onto a cold surface, the air in your breath is cooled, and it can't then hold as much water vapor as it did when it was warm. So some of the vapor condenses out ... becomes water instead of vapor ... and the condensed water collects on the glass. Exactly the same process is responsible when you exhale into cold air and you "see your breath".
How does the water on the outside of a cold glass get there?
There is water in the form of water vapor, sort of like steam, in the air. But, the amount of water the air can hold depends on the temperature of the air. The hotter it is the more water it can hold. But, when the air touches the side of a cold drink glass the temperature at that place drops dramatically and the air can't hold nearly as much water as it has been, so the water comes out of the air (condenses) onto the glass.
What is a measure of how much water vapor is in the air?
Humidity.
When saturated air is cooled what happens to its capacity to hold water vapor?
The capacity becomes smaller, and the water condenses out (the source of fog).
What type of air can't hold much water vapor?
cold air
How much water can the air hold when the relative humidity of the air is 25?
how much water vapor can a cubic meter of air hold at 25 centigrades grades?
If cold air mixes with air that has a lot of water vapor what will happen to the water vapor?
It may condense into clouds, or into precipitation, because cooler air cannot hold as much water vapor as warmer air.

What data would be use to find out how much water vapor is in the air?
Look in the weather reports for "Relative Humidity". It is a percentage of how much water vapor is in the air compared to what the air can actually hold at a given temperature.
What happens to the air ability to hold water vapor as the air gets warmer?
As the air gets warmer, it's ability to hold water vapor increases.
What happen to air's ability to hold water vapor as the air gets warmer?
As the air gets warmer, it's ability to hold water vapor increases.
What factor most affects the amount of water air can hold-?
Water vapor in the air compared to the amount of water vapor that air could hold at a given temperature.
What happens to the airs ability to hold water vapor as the air gets?
As the air gets warmer, it's ability to hold water vapor increases.
What happens when air is humid?
Humidity (relative) is the amount of water vapor in the air, expressed as a percentage of the maximum amount that the air could hold at the given temperature; the ratio of the actual water vapor pressure to the saturation vapor pressure. So pretty much the air is moist and heavy.
Why relative humidity increases as temperature decreases and vice versa?
"Relative" humidity means how much water vapor there is in the air compared tohow much the air could hold at that temperature.And warmer air can hold more water vapor. Cooler air can hold less.So ... if there's a certain amount of water vapor in the air, and the air temperaturedrops, the air can now hold less at the reduced temperature, so the amount that'sthere is now a greater fraction of how much the air could hold ... higher relativehumidity.See the link below for the formula of Buck; the effect of temperature is evident.
What happened to airs ability to hold water vapor as the air gets warmer?
As the air gets warmer, it's ability to hold water vapor increases.
