Is High Humidity hot?
Not necessarily. Humidity is how much water is in the air and it makes the temperature feel warmer, but really doesn't.
Why is amazon hot and humid?
The Amazon is hot and humid due to its location. It is near the equator where the sun's rays are known to be more direct causing the immense heat. The humidity is contributed to the water in the air being heated. As the sun's rays are heating the Earth, the water in the air rises as well causing the humidity to rise in the Amazon.
What is the meaning of humidity?
Humid refers to the amount of moisture in the air. When you say the air is humid it is when there is a lot of water vapor in the air. When there is little water vapor in the air it is usually referred to as low humidity or dry air. There is no exact amount of water vapor in the air that determines whether we say it is humid or not.
If the percentage in humidity is higher does it mean it is more humid or less humid?
Humidity IS water vapor in the air. The "feel" of the humidity (dry vs hot/sweaty vs cold/clammy) is essentially the relative humidity, which is the amount of water in the air vs the maximum amount the air can hold. So if the air is holding near the maximum it can hold, it feels humid. If the air can hold a lot more water than it currently has, it feels dry. Even if the amount of total water in the air is the same. The absolute amount of water the air can hold is highly depended on the temperature. So on a hot day, the air can seem very dry, even though it is holding a lot of water. And at night, when the hot air cools to point where it can't hold all that water, it can get very humid, with dew and perhaps even fog as the water condenses. So the cooler air can seem humid, even though it has less water that the hot day air.
What is the difference between hot humid and cold humid air?
If it is hot humid air, the air will be filled with a lot of moisture, and your hands feel all sticky and when you breathe, the air feels thick. But when it's cold humid air, the air has less moisture and it may feel easier to breath in. But it still has the same humidity as the hot air, you just feel it different. This is because when you say the air is humid, you are basically saying that the air has moisture in it. But the air always has moisture in it, but you can feel it when there is high humidity. So when it is cold air, you feel the humidity less. Because if it is hot air, that means the sun must be out, and when the sun is out, it evaporates the sweat and moisture off your skin and goes into the air. That is why in a crowded room, we describe the air as 'stuffy' because it is filled with the body heat from all the people in the room. I hope I answered your question properly. :)
How humidity is in the air on a tremendously hot and humid day?
You need to be careful on hot days when the relative humidity is high because the air is harder to breath. The air is more dense with water.
Do cold air have more precipitation than hot air?
Cold air generally has contains less humidity than warm air.
Why is it easier to generate static electricity in the winter than in the summer?
Static is produced most in the winter season because the air is dry, and there isn't alot of humidity in the air, that is also why your skin drys up.
Why the humidity is high in summer?
Because air is nearly saturated with vapor cools and drops below the dew point
Does a low air pressure mass have more humidity?
Yes a low air pressure mass has more humidity.
Why is an air conditioner more effective than a fan?
Because a fan only stirs up the hot air while an air conditioner removes humidity as well as cools the air.
Why does a hot day with high humidity make it more difficult to run?
Because when the air is hot if you breath it in it will make you sweat more and then all the water in your body will make sweat and you will dehydrate
Humidity in your atmosphere is controlled ny what?
humidity is a measure of the amount of moisture in the air vs. how much the air can hold. there are 2 main factors in humidity. 1st the amount of water available, 2nd the temperature. the more water around the more water vapor that will be let in to the air, and the hotter the more the air will be able to accept so a hot arid area (like death valley) and a cold moist area (like the south pole) will have low humidity (for the most part).
When i feel hot and sticky you are feeling an air condition called?
Humidity
When you feel hot and sticky you are feeling an air condition called?
Humidity
When does air become supersaturated?
Air is supersaturated when it has absorbed all the moisture possible at that temperature. By the way, hot air can hold more moisture than cold air, which is why it is called relative humidity.
What happened to the relative humidity of an air mass as more water evaporates into the air?
The humidity become higher.
