The graph shows the relationship between temperature and the amount of water vapor in the air.

What can you conclude from this graph?

• Humidity has no effect on temperature

• The colder the air the more water vapor it can hold

• As the temperature of the air decreases, the amount of water vapor in the air decreases.

• As the temperature of the air increases, the amount of water vapor in the air decreases.

What is the difference between weather and climate?

• weather is determined by temperature, humidity whereas climate ids determined by precipitation and wind conditions

• climate is the condition of Earth's atmosphere at a particular time and place; weather is the characteristic of climate over a long period of time

• Weather is the condition of Earth's atmosphere at a particular time and place; Climate is the characteristic of weather in an area over a long period of time
