The capacity of the Atmosphere to hold water vapour

A Increases as the temperature increases
B Decreases as the temperature increases
C Increases as the temperature decreases
D Decreases as the temperature decreases

Correct Answer: Increases as the temperature increases

The capacity of the Atmosphere to hold water vapour increases as the temperature increases. As air temperatures rise, there is an increase in the ability of the air to hold moisture. At 80° F the capacity of air increases to where it can hold 21.537 g/kg of water vapor.
