What is relationship between relative humidity and temperature?
There is an effect if you're a living being and trying to cool down. Humidity does not change the temperature. It will make it difficult for your body to cool down, so it 'feels' hotter with humidity. Sweat has to evaporate for your body to cool down. It's harder to evaporate when the air is already saturated with water (ie high humidity).
What weather factor is a hygrometer use for?
Hygrometers measure the relative humidity of the atmosphere. The relative humidity is the ratio between the present water vapor content of the air and the maximum amount of water vapor the air could hold at the same temperature. Cool air will not hold as much water vapor as warmer air. With the same amount of moisture in the air, an increase in temperature decreases the relative humidity, and if the temperature drops, relative humidity increases.
How does air temperature effects the weather?
Air temperature is responsible for clouds and humidity content.
What are humidity measurements based upon?
Air humidity measurements are based on the water content of the air, expressed as volume percentage: Relative Humidity = percentage of saturation at a given temperature Absolute Humidity = percentage of water in the air, regardless of saturation or temperature. The humidity that is talked about in weather reports, is relative humidity.
What type of air has a realative humidity of 100 percent?
That would be "dewpoint"...When the air temperature falls to the dewpoint (or dewpoint rises to the air temperature), then you have 100% relative humidity.
How are humidity and water vapor related?
Relative humidity is directly related to the amount of water vapor in air, and that's the relationship. The more water vapor that is in the air, the higher the relative humidity at a given temperature.

What is the difference between heat and humidity?
heat refers to the amount of high temperature in air.... and humidity refers to the amount of water in air.....
What is the relationship between solar irradiance and air temperature?
there is direct relationship between irradiance and air temp.
What is the difference between relative humidity and dew point temperature?
relative humidity is the AMOUNT of water in the air. Dew Point is the TEMPERATURE at which the water vapor in the air is turned into liquid water.
What does it mean when humidity is 100 percent?
This is called relative humidity. It is the ratio between the actual humidity, and the humidity for saturated air - that is, the maximum amount of water air can hold. This saturation point is dependent on temperature.
The temperature and the humidity in the air mass stay about?
Humidity
What is the difference between relative humidity and actual humidity?
Humidity is the amount of water vapor at any given time and relative humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the greatest amount it can hold at that air temperature.

What is the relationship between air temperature and dew point temperature when dew occurs?
They are the same.
How can you feel water in the air?
You can feel water in the air when the humidity is high. The humidity is the amount of moisture in the air. The humidity gets high when the temperature rises.
What term refers to the temperature at which the relative humidity is 100?
That would be "dewpoint"...When the air temperature falls to the dewpoint (or dewpoint rises to the air temperature), then you have 100% relative humidity.
