Question

How are air temperature and humidity related? Colder air can hold more water vapor than warmer air. Warmer air and colder air can hold the same amount of water vapor. Warmer air can move faster than colder air. Warmer air can hold more water vapor than colder air.

Answer 1

Answer:

Warmer air can hold more water vapor than colder air.

Explanation:

Weather can be defined as the atmospheric conditions of a particular area over a short period of time.

The elements of weather include precipitation, wind, temperature, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, cloud, and wind speed.

Temperature can be defined as a measure of the degree of coldness or hotness of a physical object (body).

On the other hand, humidity refers to the concentration (amount) of water vapor that is present in the air. It is high when there's a lot of water vapor in the air and low when the level of water vapor is small.

The relationship between air temperature and humidity is that warmer air can hold more water vapor than colder air because as the air cools, its molecules move closer together while the molecules move farther apart as the air become hot.

Additionally, at constant humidity, relative humidity is inversely proportional to temperature i.e as the temperature decreases, relative humidity increases.
