We can see water vapor.

True or False

• False
• True

What is a common and practical measure of humidity?

• Absolute humidity
• Dew point
• Relative humidity
• Specific humidity

Comparing relative humidity to a glass of water that is 3/4 full, what is the % of humidity?

• 75%
• 25%
• 100%
• 50%

Why does warm air hold more water vapor than cold air?

• Warm air is denser, which helps retain water vapor.
• Cold air has more energy, allowing it to hold water vapor.
• Warm air holds more water vapor than cold air because it has higher energy, allowing water molecules to remain in vapor form.
• Cold air can hold water vapor more effectively than warm air.

How does air become saturated?

• Air becomes saturated when it cools down to freezing temperatures.
• Air becomes saturated when it reaches its maximum capacity for water vapor at a specific temperature and pressure.
• Air becomes saturated when it is heated to high temperatures.
• Air becomes saturated when it is mixed with carbon dioxide.
