Airs ability to hold water vapor increases as what increases?
Temperature
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 is there high vapor pressure in the tropics?
Vapor pressure is just a measure of water vapor in the air. The amount of moisture air can hold increases rapidly as temperature increases, and it is very warm in the tropics. Additionally, converging air in the tropics tends to generate a lot of rain, which provides plentiful sources for evapotranspiration outside of the tropical oceans.
When there is a airs ability to hold water vapor increases?
As the temperature of the air increases, water gets evaporated and hence the water content (humidity) decreases. As temperature reduces the temperature of the water vapour also reduces and it cannot maintain it's gaseous form so undergoes a phase transition to a liquid, or even straight to ice, which happens more readily at cold surfaces ('frost). The temperature is called the 'dew point'. At a microscopic level the process is rather more complex than that, quite interesting and counter intuitive.
Why relative humidity increases as temperature decreases and vice versa?
"Relative" humidity means how much water vapor there is in the air compared tohow much the air could hold at that temperature.And warmer air can hold more water vapor. Cooler air can hold less.So ... if there's a certain amount of water vapor in the air, and the air temperaturedrops, the air can now hold less at the reduced temperature, so the amount that'sthere is now a greater fraction of how much the air could hold ... higher relativehumidity.See the link below for the formula of Buck; the effect of temperature is evident.

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.
What is the result when humidity increases until the air can not hold anymore water vapor?
it rains.
What increases the ability of air to hold water vapor?
A rise in temperature allows the air to absorb more water vapour.
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 will happen if humidity increases until the air cannot hold more water vapor?
it occurs as rain,fog,or mist
Why is there a limit on the amount of water vapor the air can hold?
It takes a lot of energy to turn water into water vapor. The amount of energy that the water gains to turn into water vapor begins to be transferred into the surrounding air. If the air is willing to take on more energy the water vapor condenses quicker. This is why hot air will hold more water vapor than cold air.
Why does salt water holds heat longer?
It doesn't make the solution hold heat longer but it increases the boiling point of the solution by decreasing the vapor pressure.
