Best Answer

Heating the air reduces the relative humidity. It doesn't change the amount of water

vapor in the air. But warm air is able to hold more water vapor than cold air can, so

when you heat the air, the air becomes 'less full' of water vapor, which means lower

relative humidity.

Hot air is less dense than cold air. Heating a sealed, rigid container of air will increase the pressure of the air in the container.


What is occurring when you can see your breath on cold days?

The air that you exhale contains water vapour. When you exhale during a cold day, the relative humidity increases. Relative humidity is actually the percentage of the amount of water vapour in the air.(the maximum amount of water vapour that the air can hold at that temperature) The colder the air, the less water vapour it can carry. When exhaled, air mixes with cold air, the temperature of the exhaled air drops, but there is more water vapour. When the air becomes saturated, (relative humidity is 100%), the extra water vapour will condense, allowing you to see your breathe on cold days.


Does air conditioning reduce humidity?

Yes Air Conditioning Reduces Humidity. If you have a space AC unit, you will see that there is a containing at the bottom that needs to be emptied when full of water. That water is taken from the air. Causing a dehumidifying effect.
