Humidity

amount of water vapor in the air

how much water vapor can be put into dry air

Flavor of cheetos

amount of water vapor per pound of soil or other solid

17.

Relative humidity

how much water vapor is in the air compared to the maximum amount the air can hold at that temperature and pressue

temperature parcel of air would need to be cooled to reach saturation (measure of actual moisture content)

amount of water vapor sublimated in a 60 second period

Orographic lifting

air is forced to rise over a mountain barrier (causes rainshadow effect)

a pileup of horizontal airflow result in upward movement

Cold and warm air masses collide, causing less dense air to move downward

globular, rounded cloud rising vertically like a pile, from a flat bottom

are clouds best described as sheets or layers that cover much or all of the sky.
