Question
Chapter 15.3A, Problem 4A
Summary Introduction
The effects on relative humidity by raising or lowering the air temperature.
Introduction:
The amount of water vapor that is present in the air determines the humidity of the air. In deserts, the amount of water vapors in the air is very less, so the air is said to be dry air. When the amount of moisture increases in the air, then it makes the air humid.
