Is humidity An example of evaporation?

Humidity of surrounding air When we say that air is humid it means there is a lot of water vapors present in the air. The rate of evaporation decreases with the increase in humidity. For example, wet clothes do not dry easily if the surrounding air is wet and damp in-home take a long time to dry on a rainy day.

Does evaporation affect humidity?

Humidity is inversely proportional to the rate of evaporation. More the humidity in te sorroundings lower will be its capacity to hold more water vapour.

What can humidity affect?

Health Risks of High Humidity

• Dehydration.
• Fatigue.
• Muscle cramps.
• Heat exhaustion.
• Fainting.
• Heat stroke.

Why does humidity decrease the rate of evaporation?

If we are saying that air humidity is high, then the amount of water vapour is high in air. So, now water vapour intake capacity of air is decreased. But evaporation is the process by which extra water vapour is added to the atmosphere. So, naturally with more humidity the evaporation rate decreases.

What are the effects of low humidity?

Here are some common signs of low humidity in the home:

• Bloody noses.
• Chapped and cracked lips.
• Dry, itchy skin and eyes.
• Cold and flu symptoms.
• Itchy throat.
• Dry, cracking wood and furniture.
• Static electricity.
• Allergy and asthma flare-ups.

When humidity is high what happens?

When the air has a high moisture content, as is the case in humid weather, this sweat cannot evaporate, leaving our bodies feeling hot and sticky. To cool off, our bodies must work even harder. This results in excessive sweating, increased rate and depth of blood circulation and increased respiration.

What factors affect evaporation explain with examples?

Factors That Affect the Rate of Evaporation

• temperature of the liquid. A cup of hot water will evaporate more quickly than a cup of cold water.
• exposed surface area of the liquid.
• presence or absence of other substances in the liquid.
• air movement.
• concentration of the evaporating substance in the air.
