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.
depends how humid
water
or if not that humid
nitrogen
zone of saturation
yes.
At 30oC, there is 30g of water per cubic meter of air at 100% relative humidity (1). 30g is about 1/8th the amount of liquid in a normal soft drink can, or about the volume of 1 gulp. A cubic meter will hold over 33,000 of the same 30g gulps of water..So the correct answer is: humid air is almost entirely filled with nothing, and then a very small fraction of that air is filled with water..(1) Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidity
Humid Subtropical
The rainforest is humid because there is a lot of water in the air. The water hangs around in the air because the amount of rain in the area.
Humid air contains a high content of water vapor, as well as the other gases normally found in air.
It is filled with heated air. Since air is mostly nitrogen, a hot air balloon is mostly filled with nitrogen.

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. :)
zone of saturation
Humid air is more dense.
Humid air has more water vapor mixed in it than dry air has.
to keep the chips from being crushed during shipping
It displaces water and is filled with air.
We seem to 'sweat more' on a humid day because as the air is already packed with water molecules, our sweat does not get a chance to evaporate as fast as it would in dry air. So as there is 'no room' for sweat to be absorbed into the water-filled air, which is what humidity is, the sweat just remains a liquid and drips down instead....
Moisture (water droplets) is saturating the air when the weather is humid.
The air was as sticky as glue in the humid forest.
