What happens when air gets warmer?

• It can hold less water vapor.

• It can hold more water vapor.

• It cannot hold water vapor.

• It holds as much water vapor as before.

The amount of water vapor in the air compared to the most water vapor the air can hold is called the

• air pressure

• rain gauge

• relative humidity

• water range

When the air holds all the water it can at a certain temperature, the air is

• full

• done

• cloudy

• saturated
