What is water vapor in the air?
Water vapor in the air is water in the form of a gas.
What does water vapor in the air form?
a cloud
What word starts with the letter h and means the amount of water vapor in the air?
Humidity means the amount of water vapor in the air. It begins with the letter H.
What determines the water vapor capacity of air?
temperature
The water on the surface of the Earth and the water vapor in the air make up the?
hydrosphere
Does water have moisture?
Water itself is not moist, as moisture refers to the presence of moisture or water vapor in the air. However, water can contribute to moisture when it evaporates and increases humidity in the air.
How is vapor created?
water that is a liquid, evaporates into the air. and becomes dense forming moisture (water vapor)
Why do you exhale more water vapor than you inhale?
When you exhale, you release moisture from your lungs into the air as water vapor, which is why the exhaled air contains more water vapor than the inhaled air. This moisture comes from the air you breathe in, as your body extracts oxygen and releases carbon dioxide and water vapor during the process of respiration.
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.
Does water vapor increase when we are sweating?
Yes, sweating adds moisture to the air around us in the form of water vapor. As the moisture evaporates from our skin, it increases the humidity in the air. Sweat itself is primarily composed of water, which turns into water vapor when it comes in contact with the warmer air around us.
What is one thing needed for condensation to occur?
There must be moisture in the air. When cooled, the water vapor in the air becomes liquid water- but if there is no moisture, then it cannot condense.
What term is given to the amount of moisture in the air?
The term for the amount of moisture in the air is humidity. It is typically expressed as a percentage, with higher values indicating more moisture in the air.
What do you call the comparison of the actual amount of water vapor in the air to the amount of water vapor in the air if it were saturated?
The comparison of the actual amount of water vapor in the air to the amount of water vapor in the air if it were saturated is called relative humidity. It is expressed as a percentage and indicates how close the air is to being saturated with moisture.
Will moisture increase in heated air?
yes because the more hot air the more water vapor
What is the temperature at which water vapor in cooling air turns into a liquid water is?
The temperature at which water vapor in cooling air turns into a liquid is called the dew point. At this point, the air is saturated with moisture and can no longer hold any more water vapor, causing condensation to occur.
What is relative humidity relative to?
Relative humidity is a measure of the amount of moisture in the air compared to the maximum amount of moisture the air can hold at a specific temperature. It is expressed as a percentage and indicates how close the air is to saturation.
What processes remove water vapor from the air?
Precipitation.
