What happens to the vapor in the air when it get cold?
I think as it gets cooler it can hold less water vapor....
Which type of air can hold more water vapor-and-why?
Warm air can hold more water vapor than cold air because warm air molecules have more energy and are more widely spaced, allowing them to accommodate more water vapor molecules. Cold air is denser and has less energy, limiting its capacity to hold water vapor.
Are plants and animals the only creatures that need water?
can cold air hold less water vapor than warm air
When it's humid the air holds a lot of water vapor but when it's cold what happens to the water vapor?
nothing "happens" 2 the water vapor. the vast amount of water vapor in the air on a humid day as exactly bcoz its so hot. the water is drawn out of sources which holds it. but when its cold that water isn't drawn out
Can hot air hold more or less water than cold air?
Hot air can hold more water vapor than cold air. This is because warmer air molecules are further apart, allowing more space for water vapor molecules to exist in the air. Conversely, cold air molecules are closer together, limiting the amount of water vapor that can be held.
What happens to the vapor in the air when it gets cold?
When the vapor in the air gets cold, it condenses into liquid water droplets. This process is called condensation. This is why you see fog, clouds, or dew forming when the temperature drops and the vapor in the air loses heat energy.
Why you see your breath on a cold day?
What you see is water vapor. The air that you exhale contains water vapor. When you exhale during a cold day, the relative humidity increases. Relative humidity is actually the percentage of the amount of water vapr in the air. (the maximum amount of water vapor that the air can hold at that temperature) The colder the air, the less water vapor it can carry. When exhaled, air mixes with cold air, the temperature of the exhaled air drops, but there is more water vapor. When the air becomes saturated, (relative humidity is 100%), the extra water vapor will condense, allowing you to see your breathe on cold days.
Can hot air or cold air hold more water?
warm air hold more water vapor...unless it doesnt like sandwiches between its toes at 5 o'clock in the after noon
How does air pressure affect how much water vapor air can hold?
Warmer air has higher saturation mixing ratios then cold air does. So therefore because of this 100% humidity in cold air is not 100% humidity in warmer air. The warmer the temperature, the more water vapor in the air. The colder the temperature, the less water vapor in the air.
Why can you see your breath on a cold mirror?
What happens here is the following: You have water vapor in your breath; when it cools down (as when it gets near the cold mirror), the air can hold less humidity (it becomes saturated), and some of the water condensates.
Does warm air or cold air contain more water vapor?
Quite the opposite. This is why irrigation is recommended overnight instead of during the day. (note: "morning dew") - less water is evaporated during cooler temperatures.
Why does heating of cold air reduce humidity?
Heating the air reduces the relative humidity. It doesn't change the amount of watervapor in the air. But warm air is able to hold more water vapor than cold air can, sowhen you heat the air, the air becomes 'less full' of water vapor, which means lowerrelative humidity.
