What happens to the vapor in the air when it get cold?
I think as it gets cooler it can hold less water vapor....

Are plants and animals the only creatures that need water?
can cold air hold less water vapor than warm air
Where is the least of the water vapor in the atmosphere found?
The least would be in cold, dry areas. Cold air can hold much less moisture than warm air. Therefore, polar regions would have the least amount of water vapor.
Why you see your breath on a cold day?
What you see is water vapor. The air that you exhale contains water vapor. When you exhale during a cold day, the relative humidity increases. Relative humidity is actually the percentage of the amount of water vapr in the air. (the maximum amount of water vapor that the air can hold at that temperature) The colder the air, the less water vapor it can carry. When exhaled, air mixes with cold air, the temperature of the exhaled air drops, but there is more water vapor. When the air becomes saturated, (relative humidity is 100%), the extra water vapor will condense, allowing you to see your breathe on cold days.
Can hot air or cold air hold more water?
warm air hold more water vapor...unless it doesnt like sandwiches between its toes at 5 o'clock in the after noon
Why can you see your breath on a cold mirror?
What happens here is the following: You have water vapor in your breath; when it cools down (as when it gets near the cold mirror), the air can hold less humidity (it becomes saturated), and some of the water condensates.
Does warmer air contain less water vapor than cooler air?
No, cold air can't hold as much as warm air, that's why clouds are up in the sky.
Why does heating of cold air reduce humidity?
Heating the air reduces the relative humidity. It doesn't change the amount of watervapor in the air. But warm air is able to hold more water vapor than cold air can, sowhen you heat the air, the air becomes 'less full' of water vapor, which means lowerrelative humidity.

How does air pressure affect how much water vapor air can hold?
Warmer air has higher saturation mixing ratios then cold air does. So therefore because of this 100% humidity in cold air is not 100% humidity in warmer air. The warmer the temperature, the more water vapor in the air. The colder the temperature, the less water vapor in the air.
Do higher temperatures hold more or less water vapor?
More, to make it snow, since the air is so cold, you would need a large body of hot air over the cold air to make the moisture turn into rain.
