What else can I help you with?
Is humidity the same as relative humidity?
No, humidity and relative humidity are not the same. Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor in the air, while relative humidity is a measure of the amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount the air can hold at a specific temperature.
When air is cooled what happens to Relative Humidity?
Yes. Relative humidity is the amount of water vapor actually in the air compared to the amount that could be in the air (saturation point) at the exisiting temperature. So, if the temperature of the air changes and the amount of water vapor in it does not, the relative humidity will be different. But, if the temperature of the air changes and so does the amount of water vapor in it, then the relative humidity could be the same as before the temperature change. That is to say that the air could contain the same percentage of water vapor that it could hold at each temperature, even though the actual amounts are different.
Will humidity increase with air pressure increase in a closed vessel?
No, humidity in a closed vessel will not increase with an increase in air pressure. Humidity is dependent on the amount of water vapor in the air, not the air pressure. The relative humidity will remain the same unless more water vapor is introduced.
Why relative humidity does not give an accurate indication of the actual amount of water vapor in the air?
Because it is relative to temperature!
What is the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount that could be in the air at that temperature?
Relative humidity is a measure of the amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount of water vapor that could be present at a given temperature. It is expressed as a percentage, with 100% relative humidity meaning the air is saturated with moisture.
Is humidity the same as relative humidity?
No, humidity and relative humidity are not the same. Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor in the air, while relative humidity is a measure of the amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount the air can hold at a specific temperature.
What happens to relative humidity if the amount of water vapor in the air stays the same and temp increases?
The relative humidity will decrease.
How is relative humidity the same as humidity?
both are measures of how much water vapour is in the air
What happens to the relative humidity if the amount of water vapor in the air stays the same but air gets cooler?
The relative humidity increases, assuming that the pressure stays the same.
What happens to the relative humidity if the amount if water vapor in the air stays the same but the air gets cooler?
The relative humidity increases, assuming that the pressure stays the same.
What happens to the relative humidity of the amount of water vapor in the air stays the same but the air gets cooler?
The relative humidity increases, assuming that the pressure stays the same.
Which is the comparison of the amount of moisture in the air to the amount of moisture it can hold?
relative humidity
What happens to the relative humidity if the amount of water vapor in the stays the but the air get coolers?
The relative humidity increases, assuming that the pressure stays the same.
What does the relative humidity have to be far a cloud to form?
Clouds can form at any relative humidity level, but typically they form when the relative humidity is close to 100%. This is when the air is nearly saturated with water vapor and begins to condense into liquid droplets, forming a cloud.
What would happen to relative humidity in the room if the air conditioner turned on?
If the water vapor amount stayed the same, then the relative humidity would be greater.
What weather factor is a hygrometer use for?
Hygrometers measure the relative humidity of the atmosphere. The relative humidity is the ratio between the present water vapor content of the air and the maximum amount of water vapor the air could hold at the same temperature. Cool air will not hold as much water vapor as warmer air. With the same amount of moisture in the air, an increase in temperature decreases the relative humidity, and if the temperature drops, relative humidity increases.
What happens to the relative humidity if the amount of water vapor in the air stays the amount but the air gets cooler?
The relative humidity increases, assuming that the pressure stays the same.
