What is the relative humidity of the air?
The relative humidity of the air is a measure of how much moisture is in the air compared to the maximum amount of moisture the air can hold at a given temperature. It is expressed as a percentage and indicates how close the air is to reaching its saturation point.
What humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount of water vapor air can hold at a certain temperature?
Relative humidity is a comparison of the amount of moisture that air is holding compared to the maximum amount it could hold at a given temperature. If it's holding all that it can, the relative humidity is 100%.
The cooler the air?
the less moisture it can hold
What is relative humidity relative to?
The ratio of a partial pressure of water vapor in an air water mixture to the saturated vapor.
What weather factor is a hygrometer use for?
Hygrometers measure the relative humidity of the atmosphere. The relative humidity is the ratio between the present water vapor content of the air and the maximum amount of water vapor the air could hold at the same temperature. Cool air will not hold as much water vapor as warmer air. With the same amount of moisture in the air, an increase in temperature decreases the relative humidity, and if the temperature drops, relative humidity increases.
What is the relative humidity of air that hold all the water it can at a given temperature?
Relative humidity is a comparison of the amount of moisture that air is holding compared to the maximum amount it could hold at a given temperature. If it's holding all that it can, the relative humidity is 100%.
The amount of moisture air can hold increases as the temperature of the air gets?
warmer
How does the temperature of the air affect the amount of humidty that you feel?
warmer air can hold more moisture.
What is relative humidity in terms of moisture and temperature?
relative humidity is the amount of moisture that air can hold in a certain temperature
What is the percentage of moisture in air relative to the amount it could hold at a particular temperature?
relative humidity
What is the amount of moisture the air contains compared with the maximum it can be hold at the given temperature?
Relative humidity.
what is Amount of moisture the air contains compared with the maximum it can hold at a given temperature?
relative humidity
What type of air hold moisture best?
The warmer the air, the more moisture it can hold. This is an exponential relationship.
If air cools what happens to the amount of moisture that the air can hold?
It decreases. As air cools, mist, then clouds, then rain / snow forms... as the moisture is displaced.
When weather forecasters speak of relative humidity they take into account the temperature of the air and?
Weather forecasters speak of humidity as a comparison of the amount of moisture compared to the air temperature.
How can relative humidity increase diffusion rate?
Relative humidity increases when the amount of moisture air can hold increases. The increase can be caused by the introduction of more moist air, OR a temperature drop of the air/moisture mixture without a loss of moisture. Colder air will hold less moisture than warm air; as the temperature goes down the amount of moisture relative to what the air can hold increases.
What is the maximum amount of moisture content that air can hold at 450 degrees temperatures?
It depends on the ambient relative humidity........
