Assume that the actual vapor content of the air remains constant over the course of a day. How does the relative humidity at 2:00 p.m. probably compare to the relative humidity at 5:00 a.m.?
A) The relative humidity at 2:00 p.m. is higher.
B) The relative humidity is the same at 2:00 p.m. as at 5:00 a.m.
C) The relative humidity at 2:00 p.m. is lower.

The relative humidity at 2:00 p.m. is likely to be lower because the air temperature is usually higher at this time, which means the air can hold more water vapor. Therefore, even if the actual amount of water vapor in the air remains constant, the relative humidity will decrease as the air temperature increases.
