Why does Relative Humidity increase when air cools?
Relative humidity is a measure of how much moisture is in the air relative to how much the air can hold. All the matters in the case of the latter is the air temperature. So if you cool the air temperature, the air can hold less moisture. Therefore, the air now has a larger percentage of moisture relative to what it can hold.
In which region can the air hold the most moisture?
north and south
What is air moisture called?
Moisture in the air is called humidity. There are different measurements of humidity including absolute humidity.
How does air temperature affect moisture content?
Air can hold finite amount of moisture in a given volume of air. When temperature increases the space between the molecules increases letting more moisture accumulating in the atmosphere.How ever this depends on the local water bodies. Moisture in air is expressed as Relative humidity . It has no units as it is a percentage.
How can it be foggy when it's cold?
The general answer is that fog is caused by condensation of water in the atmosphere. It's like a cloud, except that the cloud is in contact with the ground. That's what fog is. Air has moisture in it, and the amount varies. Also, the amount of moisture that air can hold varies as a function of temperature. The warmer it is, the more moisture that air can hold. But if it cools off, air can't hold as much. Fog forms when the temperature drops to the point where the air cannot hold all the moisture in it at that temperature. This at 100% relative humidity, which is called the dew point. Fog begins to form as air, which had previously been warmer and had moisture in it, cools until it reaches the dew point. Then we'll see tiny droplets of water forming in the air close to the ground, which is fog. A link can be found below.

What is relative humidity in terms of moisture and temperature?
relative humidity is the amount of moisture that air can hold in a certain temperature
