Examples of humidity in the following topics:
-
- The expression "it's not the heat, it's the humidity" makes a valid point.
- Because evaporation is inhibited by high humidity, we feel hotter at a given temperature when the humidity is high.
- The term relative humidity refers to how much water vapor is in the air compared with the maximum possible.
- At its maximum, denoted as saturation, the relative humidity is 100%, and evaporation is inhibited.
- For example, relative humidity rises in the evening, as air temperature declines, sometimes reaching the dew point.
-
- At room temperature and pressure, the water jar reaches equilibrium when the air over the water has a humidity of about 3%.
-
- Three key parts to evaporation are heat, atmospheric pressure (determines the percent humidity) and air movement .
