What is the definition of relative humidity?

• The amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount the air could hold at that temperature

• The temperature at which air becomes saturated and condensation occurs

• The temperature at which air becomes saturated and dew forms

• The amount of water vapor present in the air

What is the definition of dew point?

• The temperature at which air becomes saturated and condensation occurs

• The amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount the air could hold at that temperature

• The temperature at which air becomes saturated and dew forms

• The amount of water vapor present in the air

What does a high relative humidity indicate?

• The air is holding a large amount of water vapor

• The air is dry and lacks moisture

• The air is at a low temperature

• The air is at a high temperature

What does a low dew point indicate?

• The air is holding a small amount of water vapor

• The air is saturated with water vapor

• The air is at a low temperature

• The air is at a high temperature

What happens when the dew point temperature is equal to the air temperature?

• The air is holding the maximum amount of water vapor it can at that temperature

• The air is dry and lacks moisture

• The air is at a low temperature

• The air is at a high temperature
