What causes classifying clouds to vary?
the shape and height causes it to vary with temperature,pressure,and the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere
A measure of the amount of water vapor in the air is?
Relative humidity is a measure of the amount of water vapor in the air. It represents the ratio of the amount of water vapor present in the air to the maximum amount of water vapor the air can hold at a specific temperature, expressed as a percentage.
What is the relationship between water vapor and humidity?
Water vapor is water is gas form. Humdity is the amount of water the air can hold. So, they're both water in the air.
Why do most low-level clouds have flat bases?
You can not see water vapor, which is a gas. As air cools uniformly with increasing height (the adiabatic lapse rate,for the cognoscenti), it can contain less water vapor. When it can't hold any more ,water condenses in tiny droplets.
What is a measure of the amount of water in the atmosphere?
The measure of the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere is called humidity. It is typically expressed as relative humidity, which is the ratio of the amount of water vapor present in the air to the maximum amount of water vapor the air can hold at a specific temperature.
Is the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount of water vapor needed for saturation at a certain temperature.?
Relative humidity.
What Is the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount of water vapor needed for saturation at a certain temperature.?
Relative humidity.
What is the amount of water vapor in the air compared to to the amount of water vapor needed for saturation at a certain temperature?
Relative humidity.
What is the amount of water vapor the air IS holding compared to the amount of water vapor that the air CAN hold at that temperature?
Relative humidity expresses the amount of water vapor present in the air as a percentage of the maximum amount of water vapor the air can hold at that temperature. For example, if the relative humidity is 50%, it means the air is holding half of the maximum water vapor it can hold at that temperature.
Why does the amount of precipitable water vary with the mean temperature of the troposphere?
The amount of precipitable water in the troposphere varies with mean temperature because warmer air can hold more water vapor compared to cooler air. Therefore, higher mean temperatures in the troposphere lead to higher amounts of water vapor, increasing the precipitable water content in the atmosphere.
What do you call the comparison of the actual amount of water vapor in the air to the amount of water vapor in the air if it were saturated?
The comparison of the actual amount of water vapor in the air to the amount of water vapor in the air if it were saturated is called relative humidity. It is expressed as a percentage and indicates how close the air is to being saturated with moisture.
The amount of water vapor in the air by volume usually does not exceed?
The amount of water vapor in the air by volume usually does not exceed 4%.
