Introduction to Humidity and Air Temperature
Air is able to absorb and store an amount of water vapour depending on its temperature. The content of water vapour present in the atmosphere is called air humidity.
The air humidity is of great importance, since water vapour is one of the most effective meteorological elements. Simultaneously, a lot of chemical, physical and biological processes are caused or influenced by the content of water vapour in the atmosphere.
High humidity makes the feel of hotness outside in the summer because it reduces the effectiveness of sweating to cool the body by reducing the evaporation of perspiration from the skin.
Humidity and Air Temperature : Humidity
The thermal state of the atmosphere is described by the temperature. Temperature gives an idea about the mean kinetic energy of the molecules. The molecules are not in motion at the absolute temperature-zero. Readings of temperature are normally given in °C (degrees centigrade). Difference between any two temperatures (readings or calculated) are given in K (Kelvin).
I like to share this density experiment with you all through my article.
