The amount of water vapor in the air varies depending on present weather conditions. It can range from almost nothing to nearly 5% of the air's total volume.

Why does relative humidity decrease after the sun rises and increase after the sun sets?
"Because relative humidity is related with the temperature of the air. Relative humidity is the rate of water vapour to the maximum amount of water vapour can air hold at that temperature. The amount of water vapour that air can hold is increses as the temperature of the air increases. If the air holds same amount of water while the temperature is incresing, relative humidity of the air decreses because maximum amount of water that air can hold increases and the rate of humidity to tha maximum humidity decreses."Someone had given this answer, and it is partially correct, however, their bizarre English and grammar skills make it hard to understand. I think what they meant was that relative humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air, compared to what the air can "hold" at a given temperature. As temperature increases, the amount of water vapor or moisture the air can hold does as well.So, after the sun rises the temperature of the air increases, so does the amount of moisture the air can hold and the actual amount of water vapor in the air may stay the same, thus decreasing the relative humidity. The opposite happens at night.Relative humidity = (actual vapor density/ saturation density) x100%
Is a measure of the amount of water vapor content of the air?
humidity
What two factors determinthe amount or humidity in the air?
Nearness to a source water body like rivers or oceans. Temperature of the place
Explain why it is difficult to include water vapor in a graph that shows the percentages of various gases in the atmosphere?
The amount of water vapor in the air varies considerably depending on climate and weather. In a desert water vapor may account for a tiny fraction of a percent of the air. In a tropical rainforest during a storm water vapor may account for as much as 4% of the air.
What determines the amount of water that can be held in the air?
The temperature determines the amount of water vapor that can be held in the air. The warmer the air, the greater the amount of water that the air can hold.
How humidity and relative humidity different?
Humidity means amount of water vapour present in air with respect to total amount of air. Relative humidity means ratio of amount of water vapours per unit volume of air to the capacity of air to held maximum water vapours in unit volume of air, at given air temperature.
What is the difference between dew point and precipitation?
The relative humidity is a ratio of the amount of water in a given air over the amount of water that could be held in that same parcel of air. This number will vary as the temperature rises and falls as warmer air can hold more water than cooler air.
What common term refers to the amount of water vapour that is held in the air?
Relative humidity is therm used in measuring the amount of water vapor in the air. High humidity can make the temperature feel higher than what the actual temperature is.
Humid air is filled mostly with?
The difference between humid and dry air is the amount of water vapour held in the air "water vapor"Humid implies wet. Humid air is largely filled with water particles.
What is the water held in the air?
it is water vapor
Is humidity the amount of dust in the air?
no. humidity is the amount of water in the air.
Is humidity the water in the air or the lack of water in the air?
Humidity is a measure of the amount of water in the air, compared to the maximum possible amount that could be dissolved.
The amount of water vapor in the air is called what.?
Humidity is the measurement of the amount of water vapour in the air.
What is The amount of water in air compared to the amount the air can hold is?
relative humidity
What is condensed water droplets held suspended in the air?
What is the condensed water droplets in tha air
What is the amount of water vapor the air IS holding compared to the amount of water vapor that the air CAN hold at that temperature?
Relative humidity
