What happens to the relative humidity of air as it increases in elevation?
As air increases in elevation, its relative humidity typically decreases.
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.
What happens to relative humidity as the air temperature increases?
Relative Humidity can be calculated by this equation: RH = (Vapor Pressure)/(Saturated Vapor Pressure) x100 From what we know about Saturated vapor pressures (saturated warm air has more water vapor than cool air that is saturated) we notice that more water vapor in the same given volume of air would inherently increase SATURATED vapor pressure. Thus, by simple mathematics (explained below), we can see that relative humidity would decrease as temperatures increase. If, for a given fraction y/x, as x increases the fraction becomes smaller and smaller - assuming y is constant.
What happens when the air temperature and the dew point temperature are close together?
When the air temperature and the dew point temperature are close together, it means that the air is near saturation. This can lead to fog, mist, or dew formation, as the air may not be able to hold all the moisture present. It indicates high humidity levels and can also be a precursor to precipitation.
When temperature goes up what happens to relative humidity?
When temperature rises, the air's capacity to hold water vapor increases. If the amount of water vapor in the air remains constant, the relative humidity decreases because the air can hold more water vapor at higher temperatures.
What happens to humidity if temperature increases?
The relative humidity decreases
If the air temperature stays the samewhat happens to the relative humidity when the amount of moisture increases?
Relative humidity increases.
What happens to the relative humidity of air as it increases in elevation?
As air increases in elevation, its relative humidity typically decreases.
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.
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 happens to the relative humidity when the temperature increases and the water vapor stays the same?
it decreases :)
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 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.
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.
What happens when air that has reached its dew point is cooled further?
Relative humidity increases
What happens when air has reached its dew point?
condensation Another question that follows: As an air mass cools to its dew point; relative humidity increases
