humidity effects the evaporation in the following ways: 1. In a closed container rate of evaporation will have a lesser value than usual.but there will be no decrease in the rate.
The higher the relative humidity is the lower rate of evaporation.
At limes of low humidity fluids evaporate more quickly because they can be easily taken up by the surrounding environment, at 100% humidity evaporation stops, evaporated water can be measured as relative humidity
This is called the relative humidity. It changes due to evaporation and precipitation, and warm air can hold more water than cooler air.
Add water (vapor) ... evaporation. Lower the temperature of the air mass.
relative humidity
Evaporation is really dependent on temperature, relative humidity and surface area not sunlight. Sunlight may increase evaporation by raising the temperature of the water through radiant heat.
the things that have a affect on evaporation is water,temperature,relitive humidity and im only 10 years old and i answered this. LOL :)
The fact is this is not the variable you should be looking at rather the Relative humidity and the air pressure takes a part in it if you have a low RH you will get fast evaporation compared to high humidity where the water has no where to go.
there is adifference because water turns into water vapour more easily when it is warm. However the rate of evaporation has more to do with relative humidity. For example if you were to hang out the wash during a heatwave in the oppressive humidity that you find in New Guinea it would take it ages to dry, However if you were to do the same in freezing temperatures and low relative humidity they would dry quickly.
Condensation is the opposite of evaporation this is known to happen at dew point when suspended water known as and measured as relative humidity drops out of suspension from the surrounding air and forms on cooler surfaces as water
High humidity retards evaporation, and it may not occur at all if the air is at saturation, Low humidity accelerates it, and in extremely hot, and dry conditions water may vaporize quite readily, and rapidly. See psychrometrics, Relative Hummidity, Latent Heat, and sublimation.
only very slightly. the speed of evaporation is influenced by the relative humidity in the air that it is in contact with.
