The amount of water vapor in the air usually does not exceed?
The maximum amount of water vapor that can exist in the air largely depends on temperature. Hotter days mean an increased ability to hold water vapor while colder days have decreased humidity. When relative humidity is at 100%, fog generally forms.
Why are the amount of gases in the atmosphere usually shown as percentages of dry?
It is simpler because the amount of water vapor in the air can change.
The ratio of water vapor in a volume of air relative to how much water vapor that volume of air is capable of holding is called?
Relative humidity
What is the difference between absolute and specific humidity?
Relative humidity is a ratio of the actual water vapor content of the air to the amount of water vapor needed to reach saturation. Absolute humidity is the mass of water vapor contained in a given volume of air.
What percent does water vapor make up of atmospheric gases?
The amount of water vapor in air varies based on the temperature and density of air. The amount of water vapor ranges from a trace amount up to 4%.

What is the measure of the actual amount of water vapor in the air called?
This is called the absolute humidity, usually expressed in grams of water vapor per kilogram of air, but also by water vapor per unit volume of air (e.g. grams per cubic meter).
The exact amount of water vapor in a certain volume of air is called what?
absolute humidity
Why is the amount of water vapor always changing?
the amount of water vapor depends in volume temperature and pressure.Since you can never keep any of them constant forever, then the amount of water vapor would have to change to "balance" out the system (the conservation of energy or stuff like that). This could be done by precipitation or condensation, both of which help to regulate the right amount of water vapor.
Does steam have definite volume?
No. Steam is a gas, thus volume is a variable. (It is often referred to as a vapor since it is usually near its liquid condition.)
Why are the amount of gases in the atmosphere usually shown as percentages of dry?
It is simpler because the amount of water vapor in the air can change.

What is vapor capacity?
liqiueds volume
What is the amount of water held in the air?
The amount of water vapor in the air varies depending on present weather conditions. It can range from almost nothing to nearly 5% of the air's total volume.
What gas has 0.0 to 4.0?
Water Vapor Because If The Air Did Not Have Wator Vapor In It, It Would Be Very Staticy And Dry!
The ratio of water vapor in a volume of air relative to how much water vapor that volume of air is capable of holding is called?
Relative humidity
If you changed the water to water vapor in a pressure cooker what volume would the water vapor occupy?
If it remains sealed the volume remains the same.
