How does the lower vapour-holding capacity of cold air help fog formation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Saturation can be reached with less moisture

Direct answer: A, saturation can be reached with less moisture. Air can contain water vapour, but the maximum amount it can hold depends on temperature. Warm air can hold more vapour than cold air. Therefore, when moist air cools, the amount of vapour already present may become enough to reach saturation. At saturation, relative humidity is about 100 percent, and further cooling can cause some vapour to condense into tiny droplets. If those droplets remain suspended near the ground, fog forms and visibility decreases. A expresses this relationship accurately. B is wrong because cold air can contain water vapour; it simply has a lower holding capacity. C is wrong because cold air does not always create deserts. D is wrong because fog droplets reduce visibility rather than increase it. Memory cue: cooling reduces capacity, so the same moisture can reach saturation more easily. Do not say cold air has no moisture; say it holds less moisture.
