Is it true or false that warm air can hold more water vapor than cool air?
True
What is it called when air can hold no more water vapour?
When air can hold no more water vapor, it is said to be Saturated. It has a Relative Humidity of 100%
Does warm air hold more water vapor than cold air?
A oft-repeated water vapor myth is that warm air can "hold" more water vapor than cool airbecause as the air warms its molecules move farther apart, making room for more molecules. This leads to the idea that as air cools its molecules move closer together, "squeezing" out water vapor.
How does water vapor in the air effect the weather?
colder air doesn't collect as much water vapor
What increases the ability of air to hold water vapor?
A rise in temperature allows the air to absorb more water vapour.
Is it true or false that warm air can hold more water vapor than cool air?
True
True or false more Water vapor is held in cool air then warm air?
false...air has no ability to "hold" water vapor
Why is there a limit on the amount of water vapor the air can hold?
It takes a lot of energy to turn water into water vapor. The amount of energy that the water gains to turn into water vapor begins to be transferred into the surrounding air. If the air is willing to take on more energy the water vapor condenses quicker. This is why hot air will hold more water vapor than cold air.

Does warm air hold more water molecules?
Yes, warm air can hold more water (in the form of water vapor) than colder air.

Which air temperature would be capable of holding more water vapor 64 or 85 degree air?
85...The warmer the temperature, the more water vapor it can hold.
How does water vapor in the air effect the weather?
colder air doesn't collect as much water vapor
If the air is saturated with water vapor what must happen to the temperature of the air to allow it to hold more water vapor?
it would have to get colder for the water molucules to shrink and more to come in and it woluld allow more space
Why is there high relative humidity in basements in the summer?
1) Warm air can hold/contain more water vapor than cool air. 2) Relative humidity is a measure of how much water is in the air as compared to the maximum it can hold. Thus if you take some warm summer air and send it into a nice cool basement, the air will cool and as cool air can hold less water than the warm air, the relative humidity of the cooled air in the basement will go up.
Does hot air hold more water vapor than cold air?
Yes.
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
