9 The humidity of the air is the amount of water vapour in the air. ü Water vapour is water in the air in the form of a gas. ü Water vapour enters the air when liquid water evaporates. Warm air can hold more water vapour than cold air, ü and so is usually more humid. ü The humidity of the air is important for two main reasons: • It influences the amount of rain that is likely to fall in a place. Places with high humidity get more rain than places with low humidity. ü


• It influences how people feel. On a hot day, if the humidity is high, people’s sweat does not evaporate much, and they feel hot and sticky. ü (Any five)
