Humidity

The amount of water vapor in the air is known as ___.

• dew point

• humidty

• relative humidity

• rain

Which one of the following is an accurate relative humidity reading?

• 32 degrees

• 24 mL

• 45%

• 15 NW

When the air is full of water and has a relative humidity of 100% it is said to be ___.

• full

• humid

• saturated

• warm

Which will hold more water, warm air or cold air?

• Warm Air

• Cold AIr

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

• Saturation
• Vaporicity
• Absolute Humidity
• Relative Humidity

The warmer the air the __________ water vapor it can hold.

• less
• more

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

What does high humidity mean?

• It is cold. 
• It is hot. 
• There is a little evaporated water in the air. 
• There is a lot of evaporated water in the air. 

The sun heats up surface water, causing evaporation.  The water vapor then rises into the air creating....

• rain
• ice
• fog
• humidity

How does air temperature affect humidity?

• warmer air = lower humidity
  colder air = higher humidty
• temperature does not affect humidity
• colder air = lower humidity
  warmer air = higher humidity
• warm air and cold air = high humidity
