False, a decrease in temperature results in an increase of relative humidity
Increase in humidity, and decrease in temperature.
The relationship between relative humidity and temperature is that as temperature increases, the air can hold more water vapor, leading to a decrease in relative humidity. Conversely, as temperature decreases, the air can hold less water vapor, resulting in an increase in relative humidity.
Changing the air temperature or humidity level are the only ways to change the dew point. If the temperature or humidity increases, the dew point will also increase. Conversely, if the temperature or humidity decreases, the dew point will decrease.
In the troposphere, the temperature drops. In the stratosphere (layer above the troposphere) it increases with elevation. In the mesosphere, temperature drops again with elevation. In the theromosphere, it goes up again (to nearly stellar surface temperatures).
When the temperature rises, air can hold more moisture, which can lead to an increase in relative humidity if the amount of water vapor in the air remains constant. Relative humidity is the ratio of the current amount of moisture in the air to the maximum amount it can hold at that temperature, expressed as a percentage. Therefore, if the temperature increases without a corresponding increase in moisture, the relative humidity may actually decrease. Conversely, if moisture is added to the air as the temperature rises, the relative humidity will increase.
As elevation increases above sea level, temperatures tend to decrease. This is because the air becomes less dense at higher altitudes, leading to lower atmospheric pressure and reduced air temperature. This change in temperature with elevation is known as the lapse rate.
On average, the temperature decreases by about 3.5°F for every 1,000 feet increase in elevation. This concept is known as the environmental lapse rate. However, the actual rate at which temperature decreases with elevation can vary based on local conditions and geographic location.
The density of water increase, also the humidity of the atmosphere; the temperature decrease.
