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.
What happens when warm moist air gets colder?
No, it will not any moisture. If you go down from high temperatures to low, then at so called dew point you will have some moisture. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dew_point
Why would you expect thunderstorms when cold air mass runs into warm air mass?
Cold air has little moisture, warm air has lots. When cold air runs into warm air then the warm air is pushed up until the moisture in the air gets cold enough to form rain
Does hot air weighs more than cold air?
NO
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.
Why Air has more moisture during summer than winter give reason?
Warm air can hold more moisture than cold air.
What does warm air hold more of than cold air?
moisture
Is cold air heavier than warm air?
False because warm air rises. The particles in cold air are moving more slowly and make cold air more dense than warm air.
Is it true that cold air can hold more moisture than an equal volume of warm air?
Yes
Is the air more saturated in cold or warm weather?
Warm air holds more moisture than cold air. In warm weather, there is increased evaporation of sea water.
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.
When does air become supersaturated?
Air is supersaturated when it has absorbed all the moisture possible at that temperature. By the way, hot air can hold more moisture than cold air, which is why it is called relative humidity.
Why does window fog even when warm air is blowing on them on car windshield?
Warm air contains more moisture than cold air. The air hits the cold window and the moisture is deposited on the cold glass. It is the same effect that causes your glass full of a cold beverage to start to drip down the sides.
Cold air holds more moisture than warm air does?
Yes it does. which is why as it rises into the cooler upper atmosphere it will start to rain.
Why a sunny day is more humid than a cold day?
because of percipitation
When is more humid day or night?
Generally, day time has more humidity. Warm air can hold more moisture than cold air and the daytime is usually warmer than night.
Why do we see water droplets on outer surface of a glass containing ice-cold water?
Warm air can hold more moisture than cold air. When warm air comes in contact with a cold glass, it is cooled. The moisture that can no longer be held in the cooler air condenses on nearby surfaces, in this case the glass.
