I assume you meant to say "is low" at the end of your question.

In order to answer this. I need to explain a couple things.

As humans, we sweat to cool down. The way this works, is as the sweat evaporates off our skin, it draws heat away from the body.

In high humidity, evaporation is slower, and therefore we cool down more slowly. (in warm temperatures)

So in low humidity, our bodies are better able to regulate excess heat, and keep us cooler.

Also, humid air is harder for our lungs to process oxygen out of, so we get less oxygen with each breath in higher humidity.

How does the relationship between temperature and relative humidity affect the overall comfort level in a given environment?

The relationship between temperature and relative humidity impacts comfort level in an environment. High humidity can make it feel hotter than it actually is, while low humidity can make it feel cooler. When the temperature and humidity are balanced, it can create a more comfortable environment.


Amount of moisture in air compared to amount needed in saturation?

Relative humidity is a measure of how much moisture is in the air compared to how much moisture the air can hold at a given temperature. If the relative humidity is 100%, the air is saturated and can hold no more moisture. Lower relative humidity means the air is drier and can still hold more moisture.


What is humidity What is the name of the instrument that measures it Which is more comfortable a day with high humidity or with low humidity?

Humidity is dampness in the air. The intrument that measures it is a hygrometer, and a day with low humidity is more comfortable because its easier to breath


Which is more comfortable a day with high humidity or a day with low humidity?

low


How does relative humidity change with temperature?

As temperature increases, relative humidity decreases. This is because warmer air can hold more moisture, so the relative humidity percentage decreases as the air temperature rises.


What is the relationship between relative humidity and temperature?

The relationship between relative humidity and temperature is that as temperature increases, the air can hold more water vapor, leading to a decrease in relative humidity. Conversely, as temperature decreases, the air can hold less water vapor, resulting in an increase in relative humidity.


Which is more comfortable for liguid painting with high humidity or low humidity?

low humidity! it's more comfterbal and is better for letting the paint dry


In the winter cold air is brought into homes and heated how does this change the relative humidity?

The relative humidity decreases. This explains why there is static and people walk around with chapped lips. Here is a link to a good explanation: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Accuweather-2546/2008/6/Physicial-Geography.htm


What term is defined as the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount of water that the air can hold?

This is the measure of relative humidity. At 50 percent relative humidity, the air is holding half of what it could. It is relative humidity because it is related to the temperature and pressure of the air.


What is the difference between humidity and relative humidity, and how do they affect the comfort level in a given environment?

Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor in the air, while relative humidity is the ratio of the amount of water vapor present in the air to the maximum amount the air can hold at a given temperature. Higher humidity levels can make a space feel warmer and more uncomfortable, as the body's ability to cool itself through sweat evaporation is reduced. Lower humidity levels can make a space feel cooler and more comfortable, as sweat evaporates more easily, helping to cool the body.
