When the air is _ more water can be held in the air
What is warmer
Temperature is measured in Fahrenheit, Celsius, and this extreme unit
What is Kelvin
The proper name for a wet bulb/dry bulb device
Psychrometer
coldest temp
mesosphere
This type of humidity compared to the temperature and capacity of an air mass is measured in percent and called this
What is Relative humidity
Colder temperature makes it so air can hold less water thus increasing this
What is relative humidity
The purpose of chilling the water to dew point
To find the absolute humidity of the air, which would be the same as the capacity at dew point.
Increasing temp layers
stratosphere and thermosphere
The actual mass of water in the air by volume or mass.
Absolute Humidity
Why should you hold the thermometer by the stem?
Temp is measured at the bulb
What is a hygrometer?
Something to measure humidity.
Heights of mesosphere
50-80 km
The point at which water vapor condenses into a liquid is called this
What is dew point
What is temperature?
A measure of the average movement of molecules
