How does air temperature affect precipitation?
Warm air holds more moisture than cold air. When the air has reached "saturation point" (ie. it cannot hold any more moisture), it is more likely to cause precipitation as the oversaturated air forms moisture droplets that fall as precipitation. One of the major causes of precipitation is when warm air cools rapidly (for example, when it rises after hitting a mountain front or other landmass). As the warm air cools, it loses its ability to retain moisture and becomes saturated, thus creating precipitation.
Why a sunny day is more humid than a cold day?
because of percipitation
Is cold air heavier than warm air?
False because warm air rises. The particles in cold air are moving more slowly and make cold air more dense than warm air.
If air cools what happens to the amount of moisture that the air can hold?
It decreases. As air cools, mist, then clouds, then rain / snow forms... as the moisture is displaced.
Why would your refrigerator leak inside when humidity is high?
Condensation, just like your iced tea glass sweats because it is cold on the inside and the weather is hot on the outside. Humidity supplies the moisture for the reaction. Answer 2: Air from the kitchen, or wherever the unit is located, gets trapped inside the refrigerator. The cooler air inside condenses the moisture within the hotter outside air; the resulting moisture attaches itself to the interior walls of the refrigerator. This happens more often during humid days because there are more water particles within the air.
Which holds more moisture warmer air or colder air?
The air that holds the most moisture in their air hole is warmer.
True or false cool air holds more moisture than warm air does?
false
How is the air in a humid place different in a place which is not humid?
It holds more moisture
Colder air holds less moisture than warmer air?
If air is holding as much moisture as it can, colder air holds less than warmer.
What holds water in the air?
Air pressure holds water in the air. When the pressure builds up and the air gets too saturated to hold any more moisture, then precipitation will occur.
What type of air holds the least moisture?
Cold air.
Cold air holds more moisture than warm air does?
Yes it does. which is why as it rises into the cooler upper atmosphere it will start to rain.
Is the air more saturated in cold or warm weather?
Warm air holds more moisture than cold air. In warm weather, there is increased evaporation of sea water.

Why is the equator always have precipatation?
Hot air holds moisture far more efficiently than cooler or cold air ... thus a higher humidity at the equator, where temperatures are higher.
How does moisture affects temperature?
it is usually that when the temperature increases, so does the moisture in the air....
If the gas from dry ice is colorless and clear why does it form clouds of white vapor?
Air holds moisture. The warmer the air, the more moisture it can hold. So when warm air holding a fair amount of moisture comes in contact with the very cold dry ice, it cools down, and some of the moisture condenses out into those clouds you're seeing because the colder air is no longer capable of holding it.
