The actual amount of water vapor in the air at a given time and place is called the
humidity
specific humidity
specific heat
heat
When there is so much water vapor in the air that the rate of condensation equals the rate of evaporation, the air is
specific humidity.
condensation.
heat transfer.
saturated.
How near the air is to its maximum capacity for holding water vapor is
specific humidity.
saturated.
relative humidity.
evaporation.
Humidity is measured using a(n)
barometer.
psychrometer.
anemometer.
thermometer.
The temperature at which saturation occurs and condensation begins is called the
relative humidity.
specific humidity.
specific heat.
dew point.
When fog or clouds form, the water vapor is condensing on tiny particles called
the mitochondria.
condensation nuclei.
chromotography.
a psychrometer.
Which cloud type is high in the sky, feathery looking, made of ice crystals and usually predict fair weather with a change in weather in the next 24 hours.
cumulus
cirrus
stratus
cumulonimbus
Which clouds are sheetlike, thin clouds that usually cover the entire sky. The sun or moon can shine through them. These clouds usually come 12-24 hours before a rain or snow storm.
cirrostratus
stratus
cirrus
cumulus
Which types of clouds are small, rounded puffs that usually appear in long rows. They are usually white, but sometimes appear gray. These clouds are usually seen in the winter and indicate fair, but cold, weather. In the tropics, they may indicate an approaching hurricane.
