The amount of moisture in the air can be described using the __________ or the __________.
A) relative humidity,latent heat of condensation
B) relative humidity,dew point
C) saturation,dew point
D) saturation,latent heat of condensation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The amount of moisture in the air is described using either relative humidity or dew point. Relative humidity is the percentage of moisture in the air compared to the maximum amount of moisture the air can hold at a specific temperature. Dew point is the temperature at which the air becomes saturated and water vapor condenses into visible water droplets, forming dew or fog. Option A and D are incorrect because latent heat of condensation refers to the heat released when water vapor condenses into liquid water, and is not a measure of the amount of moisture in the air. Option C is partially correct, as saturation refers to the point at which the air is holding the maximum amount of moisture it can at a specific temperature, but alone it does not give an indication of how much moisture is present in the air.
