• the temperature and kinetic energy decrease and cause a convection current

• the temperature and kinetic energy increase and cause a convection current

• the temperature and kinetic energy stay the same and cause a convection current

The amount of water vapor in the atmosphere compared to how much it could hold.

• Saturation

• Vaporicity

• Absolute Humidity

• Relative Humidity

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
