What happens when air gets warmer?
Warm air can hold more water vapor.
What increases airs ability to hold water vapor?
Heat. Hot air holds more vapor than cold air. This is why we get rain when hot air rises, cools down, and the water vapor condenses out to form rain drops. It's also why we get clouds, the vapor condenses when the air gets cold at altitude but not enough to form droplets and fall from the sky.
What is it called when you can see your breath when it's cold?
The air in our lungs is very warm and moist. Warm air can hold more water vapor than cold air. When we breathe out in a cold environment, the temperature of that breath drops rapidly as it mixes with the cold air. As a result a portion of the moisture condenses into tiny water droplets. As mixing continues, though, the drier air disperses the moisture, and the droplets evaporate.
What happens if a cold air intake gets wet?
A little is not a problem. If it is a lot, then it could lead to vapor lock, etc. Don't worry about splash from puddles, etc. Be worried about trying to drive while your car is submerged up to the filter...to be safe, take off your cold air intake during rainy seasons.
Which holds more water vapor a warm air mass or a cold air mass?
A warm air mass and a cold air mass holds the same amount water vapor but the air mass is smaller
What happens to the vapor in the air when it get cold?
I think as it gets cooler it can hold less water vapor....
What happens to the air ability to hold water vapor as the air gets warmer?
As the air gets warmer, it's ability to hold water vapor increases.
What happens to the airs ability to hold water vapor as the air gets?
As the air gets warmer, it's ability to hold water vapor increases.
What happens to airs ability to hold water vapor as the air gets warmer?
As the air gets warmer, it's ability to hold water vapor increases.
Why does warm air hold more water vapor then cold air?
Because Water vapor is why the air is warm More specifically the Evaporation/precipitation cycle puts heat into the air via water vapor carrying heat from the surface of the earth into the air If the Surface is hotter then more evaporation happens and in turn more heat gets into the air with the associated humidity
When it's humid the air holds a lot of water vapor but when it's cold what happens to the water vapor?
nothing "happens" 2 the water vapor. the vast amount of water vapor in the air on a humid day as exactly bcoz its so hot. the water is drawn out of sources which holds it. but when its cold that water isn't drawn out
What happens when air gets warmer?
Warm air can hold more water vapor.
Cold, dry air from Canada picks up water vapor over Great Lakes . What happens to this vapor after that?
it turns into oxygen
Why can you see your breath on a cold mirror?
What happens here is the following: You have water vapor in your breath; when it cools down (as when it gets near the cold mirror), the air can hold less humidity (it becomes saturated), and some of the water condensates.
What happens when air conditioner touches steel?
The steel gets cold.
What increases airs ability to hold water vapor?
Heat. Hot air holds more vapor than cold air. This is why we get rain when hot air rises, cools down, and the water vapor condenses out to form rain drops. It's also why we get clouds, the vapor condenses when the air gets cold at altitude but not enough to form droplets and fall from the sky.
What happens when air pressure is cooled?
When the air is cooled it mostly rains
