How does air temperature affect humidity?
When you go higher into the air, air pressure starts to decrease and when you are at sea level, air pressure very high. When the temperature is really high, air molecules start bouncing around rapidly and that creates high air pressure. This pressure is enough to blow up a balloon on it's own. When the temperature is really cold, air molecules contract and forms low pressure. This can actually shrink a balloon without the air going out of the balloon in a matter of minutes.

What air mass has low humidity and high air temperature?
ct
Why polar air described as dry when the relative humidity of that air is very high?
Temperature of polar is such low and much closer to the dew point, so the relative humidity is high. But low dew point let little water vapor be hold by the air, so it is dry.
Why is the cold air described as dry when the relative humidity of that air is very high?
Temperature of polar is such low and much closer to the dew point, so the relative humidity is high. But low dew point let little water vapor be hold by the air, so it is dry.
What factor most affects the amount water air can hold?
temperature
Does air temperature affect humidity?
How does temperature affect humity? The mount of water vapor that air can hold depends on the temperature of the air.
What temperature do the air hold?
almost 20
What factor most affects the amount of water air can hold-?
Water vapor in the air compared to the amount of water vapor that air could hold at a given temperature.
That is the temperature of air during a Temperature inversion?
high
Air in a desert contains the most vapors at what temperature?
The warmer the temperature, the more water vapor the air can hold.
Why does Relative Humidity increase when air cools?
Relative humidity is a measure of how much moisture is in the air relative to how much the air can hold. All the matters in the case of the latter is the air temperature. So if you cool the air temperature, the air can hold less moisture. Therefore, the air now has a larger percentage of moisture relative to what it can hold.

The amount of moisture air can hold increases as the temperature of the air gets?
warmer
Does the amount of water vapor that a volume of air can hold decrease as air temperature rises?
No. It increases. Warmer air can hold more water than colder air.
What happens to air pressure when the temperature drops?
When air pressure drops temperature also drops. Thus on high mountains low air pressure is accompanied by low temperature. This is true for high atmosphere also.
