Question

How is humidity related to air pressure?

Answer 1

Humid air has higher pressure because of the heaviness of the water

Answer 2

Answer: Humidity is inversely related to the air pressure.

Explanation:

Humidity is defined as the amount of water vapor present in air. Humid air has more water content in the air.

Air pressure is defined as the amount of air present in a column.

Humid air means less air content in the air and it further means low pressure.

From this, we can say that humidity is inversely related to the air pressure.

$\text{Humidity}\propto \frac{1}{\text{Air pressure}}$

More, the humidity, less will be the air pressure and vice-versa.
