🔍 Key Concepts

• Relative humidity vs. vapor pressure in the atmosphere • The meaning of "saturated" air in basic meteorology • How temperature limits how much water vapor air can hold

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens to the amount of water vapor the air can hold as temperature changes. What does it mean when that limit is reached? • Which option describes a condition of the air itself, and which describe weather phenomena you might observe? • Is 100% relative humidity a cause, an effect, or a definition of saturation?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice refers to a physical limit of water vapor in the air at a given temperature. • Separate options that describe observable weather conditions (like rain or clouds) from those that describe thermodynamic conditions of the air. • Check which choice refers specifically to pressure of water vapor rather than just how damp the air feels.
