Airs ability to hold water vapor increases as what increases?
Temperature
Which air temperature would be capable of holding more water vapor 64 or 85 degree air?
85...The warmer the temperature, the more water vapor it can hold.
The lowest possible temperature at which air is able to hold all of its water vapor is its?
Dew Point.
What is relative humidity relative to?
The ratio of a partial pressure of water vapor in an air water mixture to the saturated vapor.
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.
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.
What is it called when the air cannot hold any more water?
Air with 100% of the water vapor that can be held at that temperature is said to be saturated.
The ratio of air's water-vapor content to its capacity to hold water vapor at that same temperature is the?
Relative humidity
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
Airs ability to hold water vapor increases as what increases?
Temperature
Which air temperature would be capable of holding more water vapor 64 or 85 degree air?
85...The warmer the temperature, the more water vapor it can hold.
What causes changes in the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere?
Temperature, pressure, and water availability. For example, if you decrease temperature, the air cannot hold as much water vapor, this is the main cause of dew in the morning. If you add a large supply of water, like a lake, into a desert region the air can act like a sponge.
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.
How is Relative Humidity Determined?
Is the percentage of water vapor that is actually in the air compared to the maximum amount of water vapor the air can hold at a particular temperature.
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.
Air in a desert contains the most vapors at what temperature?
The warmer the temperature, the more water vapor the air can hold.
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.
