The property which primarily controls how much water can be present as a gas is:
Assoli18 [71]
The temperature of the air is the property which primarily controls how much water can be present as a gas. 

Meteorology is the study of the atmosphere. It primarily focuses on weather which is defined as the condition of the atmosphere at a certain time and place. It changes every day depending on earth location. There are five factors that affect weather namely, temperature, pressure, humidity, wind and precipitation.

The question above primarily talks about humidity-the amount of water vapor in the air. As the  temperature increases, the air or gas can hold more water. The warmer the air is, the more water it can possibly hold as vapor.

Provide one example of how life on Earth would not be possible without water based on its characteristics.
snow_lady [41]

Answer: ice is less dense than liquid water. If ice was more dense, Earth would freeze.

Explanation: There are many reasons why life on Earth depends on the characteristics of water. One could discuss hydrogen bonds and its role as a solvent, but the unusual property of water is is the change in density with change in temperature. Water is densest at 4 degC, which is why ice floats - it is less dense than cold water (it melts quickly in warm water, so density isn’t impotant at higher temperatures). Most liquids are less dense than the solid, frozen form. If this was the case with water, any ice that formed would sink, and sease would freeze from the bottom up. Furthermore, the lowest layers would be insulated and would not all melt in summer. Thus over time, the seas would become a thin layer of liquid water at best, over solid ice. Life could not develop without liquid seas. In addition, ice is reflective, reducing the amount of sunlight absorbed, further reducing temperatures. Without ocean circulation, polar areas would be even colder, and there would be no rain.

How do electrons differ from protons and neutrons? A. They do not move. B. They are larger. C. They are not in a fixed position.
nikdorinn [45]
Hi!

Electrons are particles which basically 'orbit' around the nucleus. Protons and neutrons are condensed, in a fixed position inside the nucleus. 

With this in mind, the answer will be C.

Hopefully, this helps! =)

A mole of any substance contains ___ particles.
Vika [28.1K]
One mole of a substance is equal to 6.022 × 10²³ units of that substance (such as atoms, molecules, or ions). The number 6.022 × 10²³ is known as Avogadro's number or Avogadro's constant.
