Question 1138Navigation General

The correct answer is A) more moisture than cold air. Warm air can hold more water vapor than cold air, which is the basis for this question. As air temperature increases, the amount of moisture the air can hold before becoming saturated also increases. This is because the kinetic energy of the air molecules increases with temperature, allowing them to support more water vapor. In contrast, cold air has less capacity to hold moisture, which is why it tends to feel drier. The other answer choices are incorrect because B) cold air can actually hold less moisture, C) the amount of moisture is not independent of temperature, and D) cold air holds less moisture than warm air.
