What is the water vapor content in the air?
It means how much water vapor is suspended in the air, or how humid it is.
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 is a measure of how much water vapor is in the air?
Humidity.
The ratio of water vapor in a volume of air relative to how much water vapor that volume of air is capable of holding is called?
Relative humidity
What is water vapor in air?
Water vapor in the air is water in the form of a gas.
What 2 things are being compared when finding the relative humidity of air?
The amount of actual water vapor in the air to how much saturated water vapor could be in the air.
What type of air can't hold much water vapor?
cold air
The addition of water vapor as the air passes?
Water in a container consists of liquid in the container and water vapor above the container. As the air passes, it carries off the water vapor above the water and the water in the container replenishes it. Moving air blows water vapor away much faster than still air. As a result, a plate with water in it will dry faster if air is blowing on it than a plate will if no air is blowing on it.
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.
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.
How does water vapor in the air effect the weather?
colder air doesn't collect as much water vapor
What is absolute and relative humidity?
Relative Humidity (RH), is how much water vapor is in the air at a certain time. Humidity, in my opinion, is just another way of saying how much water vapor is in the air.
