For water, higher humidity decreases evaporation because more water is present in the atmosphere. Less water will diffuse into the atmosphere. If it's at 100% humidity, there's no net evaporation.

How would youwould use a wet-bulb thermometer and a dry-bulb thermometer to find the relative humidity?
USE as the air passes over the wet bulb thermometer the water in the cloth evaporates. as the water evaporates the cloth cools. if the humidity is low the water will evaporate more quickly and the...
Does Higher humidity makes you sweat more?
Yes. You perspire to lose heat- from the evaporation of the sweat. In high humidity, sweat evaporates poorly, so you sweat more (because you are cooled less).
What two things does humidity depend on?
First, there has to be water available to evaporate. Second, the warmer the temperature, the faster the water evaporates. This means that if water is available, warm air will take on more water vapor than cold air So it would be water and temperature.
Water evaporates more from areas near the equator or ares near the north and south poles?
Water evaporates more from areas near the equator.
What does particles do when water evaporates?
The water particles gain energy from the surrounding environment. As this happens they move more and increase in volume, eventually this means they enter a gaseous state "float" about in the atmosphere.
What happened to the relative humidity of an air mass as more water evaporates into the air?
The humidity become higher.
Why are there changes in humidity?
Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. Humidity increases when more water evaporates, and decreases when it rains or the humid air is displaced by less humid air. Generally, higher temperatures will lead to higher humidity, as more water will evaporate.
What happens when water becomes more hot and humid?
It evaporates. :)

Is it true that humidity of the air can affect evaporation why?
The more humid it is the slower it evaporates, since the more saturated the air is.
Will water evaporate faster in dry air or humid air?
No, it evaporates slower. Humidity is moisture in the air. If there is already alot of moisture in the air, more will evaporate into it very slowly.
Does Higher humidity makes you sweat more?
Yes. You perspire to lose heat- from the evaporation of the sweat. In high humidity, sweat evaporates poorly, so you sweat more (because you are cooled less).
How does water return to the atmosphere from flowering plant?
It is very simple. The water evaporates into the atmosphere. If the humidity is very low, either because the air is hot and can hold more water, or because there is just very little moisture in it, then the evaporation will proceed more quickly. If there is a wind this will speed the drying up because 'fresh' air, with low humidity is constantly passing over the the flowering plant. This is the same as drying wet cloth in air. This evaporation is connected with vapour pressure, which is determined by the amount of water in the atmosphere and humidity. When the air is 100% saturated with water vapour there will be a dynamic equilibrium where as much water condenses out of the air onto the clothes, as evaporates from the clothes into the air. If humidity is less than 100%, then there will be more evaporation than condensation and the clothes will become drier.
Does rainwater evaporates more on a summer day or cold day?
Rain water evaporates more on a summer day.
Water evaporates more from areas near the equator or ares near the north and south poles?
Water evaporates more from areas near the equator.

How does having more water change temperature?
It changes because water evaporates. When it evaporates it makes it humid around it. It gets warmer.
