Thermometer measures air temperature. The second thermometer

has a wet bulb. As water evaporates from the wet bulb, its
temperature decreases relative to the air temperature.
1. Do you think the wet bulb will cool down more on a dry or humid day?

The went bulb would definitely cool down more on a dry day, because the water evaporates.
