Which of the following is the equation for calculating relative humidity?
Which of the following is the equation for calculating relative humidity?
- relative humidity = water vapor content - water vapor capacity
- relative humidity = water vapor content + water vapor capacity
- relative humidity = water vapor content/water vapor capacity (correct)
- relative humidity = water vapor capacity/water vapor content

- To determine weather forecasts (correct)
- To measure the amount of water vapor present
What is the dew point temperature?
What is the dew point temperature?
- The temperature at which the air becomes uncomfortable
- The temperature at which clouds form
