Weather Variables

The amount of water vapor in the atmosphere compared to how much it could hold.

• Saturation
• Vaporicity
• Humidity
• Relative Humidity

_____________ is the temperature to which air must be cooled to reach saturation.

• Humid point
• Temperature index
• Relative Humidity
• Dew Point

What is an example of gas in the atmosphere?

• Ice Crystals
• Water Droplets
• Water Vapor

The amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.

• Saturation
• Vaporicity
• Humidity
• Relative Humidity

Warm saturated air contains _______ water vapor than cold saturated air.

• more
• less

Warm saturated air contains _______ water vapor than cold saturated air.

• more
• less

If the air is "saturated", that means:

• the air is full of water
• the air is partially full of water
• it's amount of water vapor in the atmosphere right now
• how much liquid water it potentially can hold

Dew is most likely to form 

• after heavy rain on a humid day
• when humid air contacts cold ground
• when the snow on the ground melts
• during windy nights when it rains

As the air temperature increases, the air's capacity for water vapor: 

• increases
• decreases
• remains the same
• is unrelated to air temperature and can either increase or decrease

Which type of air has a relative humidity of 100%?

• space
• hot
• dry
• saturated
