Yes.

Actually higher than 100% most of the time ... which is why you can see your breath in the winter.

(the moisture is condensing)

How do use the word relative humidity in a sentence?

Relative humidity means the percentage of water vapor in the air compared to the total amount that could be contained. Or the measure of the amount of water vapor that air is holding compared to the amount it can hold at a specific temperature. This is different at different temperatures. Here are a couple of sentences:1. The relative humidity is 10 percent.2. We studied relative humidity in class.3. Saturation air has a relative humidity of 100 percent.


A psychrometer gives the same reading on both thermometers what is the relative humidity?

100% because, let's say that both the thermometers have a reading of 66o degrees celcius. 66o is 100% of 66o, so the relative humidity is 100%.


Will it rain when the relative humidity reaches 100?

It can go either way.


How long does it take for one milliliter to evaporate?

Depends on the rate of supply of heat and the relative humidity. It could take forever (100% relative humidity), or be almost instantaneous (pour onto a red hot plate with < 100% humidity).


What is the relative humidity if dry bulb temperature is 25 degrees Celsius and wet bulb temperature is 22 degrees Celsius?

To calculate relative humidity using the dry bulb temperature (25°C) and wet bulb temperature (22°C), you can use a psychrometric chart or the following formula: Relative Humidity (RH) = (Actual Vapor Pressure / Saturation Vapor Pressure) × 100. The saturation vapor pressure at 25°C is approximately 3.17 kPa, and the actual vapor pressure can be derived from the wet bulb temperature. Using this information, the relative humidity is found to be around 73%.

What does it mean when relative humidity is 100 percent?

It is raining


Would the average relative humidity on a rainy day be closer to 100 percent humidity or 50 percent humidity?

The average relative humidity on a rainy day would be closer to 100 percent humidity. Rain adds moisture to the air, increasing the humidity levels to near saturation point. This leads to a higher average relative humidity compared to a non-rainy day.


What is air that has 100 percent relative humidity said to be?

Saturated


What happens when air reaches its dew points?

relative humidity is 100 percent.


How long would it take for water to evaporate if the relative humidity was 100 percent?

Water would not evaporate at 100 percent relative humidity because the air already holds the maximum amount of water vapor it can. This means no additional water can evaporate into the air until the humidity decreases.


What type of air has a realative humidity of 100 percent?

That would be "dewpoint"...When the air temperature falls to the dewpoint (or dewpoint rises to the air temperature), then you have 100% relative humidity.


What is the percent of relative humidity when raining?

Relative humidity can vary during rain, depending on factors such as temperature and amount of precipitation. Generally, during rain, relative humidity tends to be close to 100% due to the presence of moisture in the air from the rain.


If the specific humidity of air is 10 grams per kilogram and the capacity of the air is 50 grams per kilogram the relative humidity is?

Relative humidity is the ratio of specific humidity to the overall capacity. So in this case it is 10/50, or 20 percent.


Why does relative humidity rarely reach 100 percent in polluted air conditions?

Pollutants in the air can serve as condensation nuclei, promoting the formation of cloud droplets at lower humidity levels compared to clean air. This can result in clouds forming before humidity levels reach 100 percent. Additionally, pollutants like fine particles can absorb water, reducing the amount available for condensation, which can prevent humidity from reaching 100 percent.


Is air with 100 percent relative humidty said to be dry?

No, air with 100 percent relative humidity is not considered dry. It means that the air is holding the maximum amount of water vapor it can hold at that temperature, making it saturated. Dry air would have a lower relative humidity percentage.

What type of weather is likely to occur when relative humidity reaches 100 percent?

When relative humidity reaches 100 percent, it means the air is holding the maximum amount of water vapor it can. This often leads to the formation of fog, mist, or precipitation, as the air is too saturated to hold any more moisture.
