If the air is only holding one third as much moisture as it can possibly hold what is the relative humidity?
35
If the air is only holding one-third as much moisture as it can possibly hold what is the relative humidity?
35
If the relative humidity in a specific location is 50 percent how much percent of water vapor is the air holding?
The air is holding half the moisture that it has the capacity to hold. You can say nothing quantitative though with only this information.
What is meant by the phrase The air is saturated?
It means that the air is holding as much water vapor as it can at that temperature. Any increase in moisture or decrease in temperature at that point will result in water condensing.
What is a device for measuring the moisture in the air?
A hydrometer measures moisture in the air
What is the air holding al th moisture it can at a particular temperature?
humidity
Colder air holds less moisture than warmer air?
If air is holding as much moisture as it can, colder air holds less than warmer.
Does dry or wet air cool faster?
No. The temperature of air does not necessarily affect how much moisture it carries. Warm air, though, is capable of holding more moisture than cold air is.
If the gas from dry ice is colorless and clear why does it form clouds of white vapor?
Air holds moisture. The warmer the air, the more moisture it can hold. So when warm air holding a fair amount of moisture comes in contact with the very cold dry ice, it cools down, and some of the moisture condenses out into those clouds you're seeing because the colder air is no longer capable of holding it.
Is air pressure decreases so does air density?
Air density decreases with altitude, warmer temp and moisture
What does a relativehumidity of 75 percent mean?
the air is holding 75% moisture relative to the temperature
If the air is only holding one third as much moisture as it can possibly hold what is the relative humidity?
35
What is the percentage of moisture in air relative to the amount it could hold at a particular temperature?
relative humidity
Why does an updraft within a thundercloud tend to rise higher if the air has a higher moisture content?
The moisture content is not the only factor. it has to do with the temperature of the air. WARM AIR RISES, Cool air falls. the air in the updraft is warmer than the air around it. The greater difference in temp means faster and greater updrafts
Why do we see dew drops on the leaves in the early morning?
When the surface of an object becomes colder as a result of sending its latent heat out, the existing moisture in the atmosphere contracts among itself. the air capacity for holding water depends on temp'. the warmer it is the more water vapor it can hold. during the night air temp' drops to its lowest near dawn at which point the amount of water vapor in the air may exceed its reduced capacity (this point is called the dew point) and water vapor condenses and forms dew.
