Question

PLEASE HURRY!! Why does it feel cooler at 90°F when the relative humidity is 30% compared to the same temperature and the relative humidity is 80%?

Group of answer choices

Because the drier air evaporates moisture off your skin more easily.

Because the lower humidity brings down the temperature.

There is no real difference because the temperature is the same.

Because there is less air movement at 80% humidity.

Answer 1

Because the drier air evaporates moisture off your skin more easily.

Step-by-step explanation:

The tricky thing, and the power of relative humidity, is that air varies widely in its ability to hold water vapor. Warm air can contain several times more water vapor than cold air. This means that conditions may be moister, and thus warmer, in Montgomery, Alabama, when relative humidity is 40% than, say, in Nome, Alaska, when relative humidity is 80%.
