When it's humid the air holds a lot of water vapor but when it's cold what happens to the water vapor?

nothing "happens" 2 the water vapor. the vast amount of water vapor in the air on a humid day as exactly bcoz its so hot. the water is drawn out of sources which holds it. but when its cold that water isn't drawn out

Why the rate of evaporation increases when the air is less humid?
The System of liquid water and the moisture in the air (water vapor) tends to remain in an equilibrium. So if the air is less humid, the water evaporation process goes forward so as to attain equilibrium, and if the air has already water vapor, then the process becomes less favorable and hence slow.
What happens when water vapor loses heat?
It condense to liquid.
What happens with water vapor when its cooled?
when water vapour is cooled it condenses and falls as rain
What happens to water vapor as it moves upward in the air?
it becomes a solid
Why humid air is lighter than dry air?
Because water vapor is relatively light compared to O2 and N2, the mass of humid air is less per unit volume than of dry air. This makes humid air less dense and causes the buoyant force on it making it rise in dry air.
When air holds a lot of water vapor what is it outside?
It is humid.
What is the water vapor content in the air?
It means how much water vapor is suspended in the air, or how humid it is.
When does air becomes humid?
when it has plenty of water vapor
What happens when air is humid?
Humidity (relative) is the amount of water vapor in the air, expressed as a percentage of the maximum amount that the air could hold at the given temperature; the ratio of the actual water vapor pressure to the saturation vapor pressure. So pretty much the air is moist and heavy.
What is the meanig of humid?
Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. Humidity is usually expressed as a percentage of the maximum that the air could hold at that temperature.
How are dry air and humid air different?
Humid air has more water vapor mixed in it than dry air has.
What happens to water vapor when it is cooled?
The water vapor turns into liquid water.
Is humid an example of homogeneous?
No, humid is not an example of homogeneous. Homogeneous refers to a substance that has the same composition and properties throughout, like air or sugar dissolved in water. Humid, on the other hand, refers to the presence of moisture or water vapor in the air.
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 happens because water vapor molecules are lighter than nitrogen or oxygen molecules?
humid air is lighter that an equal volume of dry air at the same temperature.
Why do people feel wet in humid conditions?
Humidity in the air is a state of increased water vapor content. So, as the amount of water vapor increases in the air, making it more humid, it will adhere to your skin (since the skin naturally evaporates and absorbs water, and water binds to itself rather well), and you will actually accumulate water on your skin. As such, when the air is humid enough, you actually WILL be wetter.
How does the amount of water vapor in the air affect evaporation?
The evaporation is less important if the atmosphere is humid.
