What happens to the water vapour holding capacity of air when temperature increases?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It increases

Answer: B, it increases. In general, warmer air has a greater capacity to hold water vapour than cooler air. This does not mean that warm air must already contain more vapour; it means that its possible or maximum holding capacity is greater. When air cools, its capacity decreases, and if it reaches saturation, excess vapour may condense into droplets. A is the opposite of the usual temperature-capacity relationship. C is incorrect because increasing temperature does not remove the air’s capacity to hold vapour. D is incorrect because capacity changes with temperature. For example, the same amount of vapour may make cool air nearly saturated while warmer air remains less than saturated. Memory cue: warm air has more moisture-holding space; cooling closes that space.
