Question

At 3pm a dry-bulb thermometer reading is 66F the wet-bulb reading is 66F what is the relative humidity explain? Plzzzz help <3

Answer 1

100 %

Explanation:

Relative humidity (RH) is the amount of water vapour in the air compared to the maximum amount it can hold, expressed as a percentage.

RH is measured by a device that has wet- and dry-bulb thermometers.

If the air is unsaturated, water will evaporate from the wet bulb and cool it. The wet-bulb temperature will be less than that of the dry bulb.

If the wet-bulb temperature is the same as the dry-bulb temperature, it means that water cannot evaporate from the wet bulb.

The atmosphere already holds as much water as it possibly can, so the relative humidity is 100 %.
