Mixing ratio
Absolute humidity
Dew point
Relative humidity E. Specific humidity
Answer is Wrong!
Answer is Right!
The correct answer is: D. Relative humidity
Relative humidity is the ratio of the amount of water vapor in the air to the amount of water vapor that the air could hold at the same temperature if it were saturated. It is expressed as a percentage.
- Mixing ratio is the mass of water vapor per unit mass of dry air.
- Absolute humidity is the mass of water vapor per unit volume of air.
- Dew point is the temperature at which the air becomes saturated and water vapor begins to condense.
- Specific humidity is the mass of water vapor per unit mass of moist air.
Relative humidity is important because it affects how we feel. When the relative humidity is high, we feel sticky and uncomfortable. When the relative humidity is low, we feel dry and uncomfortable.
Relative humidity is also important for plants. Plants need water to survive, but too much water can cause them to rot. The ideal relative humidity for most plants is between 50% and 70%.
