8 - 2 Relative Humidity and Dew Point; Adiabatics

Which type of air holds more water

• warm

• cold

• hot

• cool

If the air is "saturated", that means:

• the air is full of water
• the air is partially full of water
• it's amount of water vapor in the atmosphere right now
• how much liquid water it potentially can hold

• only in clouds

• only as rain

• everywhere

As the air temperature increases, the air's capacity for water vapor:

• increases

• decreases

• remains the same

• is unrelated to air temperature and can either increase or decrease

What is relative humidity?

• humidity that is related to other humidity

• condensation

• clouds

• the amount of water in the air compared to the amount of water the air can hold - a ratio

The time of day when the relative humidity reaches a maximum value is usually

• at the time when the air temperature is highest (mid/late afternoon)

• in the evening (just before sunset)

• at the time when the air temperature is lowest (just before sunrise)

• just after sunrise

Dew is most likely to form 

• after heavy rain on a humid day
• when humid air contacts cold ground
• when the snow on the ground melts
• during windy nights when it rains
