What term is given to the amount of moisture in the air?
The amount of moister in the air is called the relative humidity. It is the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor in an air water mixture to the saturated vapor pressure of water.
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.

specific humidity
The gaseous phase of water is called?
Water cannot exist in gaseous state - water vapour is small droplets of water suspended in air, not water as a gas
