Is it true that warm air can hold more water vapor than cool air?
Yes it does
What factor most affects the amount of water air can hold-?
Water vapor in the air compared to the amount of water vapor that air could hold at a given temperature.
The ratio of air's water-vapor content to its capacity to hold water vapor at that same temperature is the?
Relative humidity
What is the amount of water vapor the air IS holding compared to the amount of water vapor that the air CAN hold at that temperature?
Relative humidity
What happens to the vapor in the air when it gets cold?
I think as it gets cooler it can hold less water vapor....
True or false more Water vapor is held in cool air then warm air?
false...air has no ability to "hold" water vapor
Is it true that warm air can hold more water vapor than cool air?
Yes it does
How does precipition form?
When water evaporates, whether from a lake, ocean, river, what have you, the water vapor rises and collects in the atmosphere. The amount of water vapor any given section of atmosphere can hold until it is completely saturated depends on the temperature of the air, as warmer air can hold greater quantities of water vapor than cool air. If the air should cool, the atmosphere can no longer hold the water vapor it has collected, and it condenses from a gas to a liquid and falls -- or precipitates -- back the surface.Precipitation (rain) is part of the water cycle. Evaporation of sea water forms clouds, clouds drop rain (on land, in this example), rain flows downhill to reach the sea, water evaporates again to continue the water cycle.
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.
What happens to the airs ability to hold water vapor as the air gets?
As the air gets warmer, it's ability to hold water vapor increases.

What happens to the air ability to hold water vapor as the air gets warmer?
As the air gets warmer, it's ability to hold water vapor increases.
What happen to air's ability to hold water vapor as the air gets warmer?
As the air gets warmer, it's ability to hold water vapor increases.

As the air gets warmer, it's ability to hold water vapor increases.
The ratio of air's water-vapor content to its capacity to hold water vapor at that same temperature is the?
Relative humidity
Why is there high relative humidity in basements in the summer?
1) Warm air can hold/contain more water vapor than cool air. 2) Relative humidity is a measure of how much water is in the air as compared to the maximum it can hold. Thus if you take some warm summer air and send it into a nice cool basement, the air will cool and as cool air can hold less water than the warm air, the relative humidity of the cooled air in the basement will go up.
