Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Relative humidity is the measure of the amount of water vapor in the air at a certain temperature as a percentage of the maximum amount of water the air can hold at that temperature. When the relative humidity is higher, the air is more saturated with water vapor, which means that there is a smaller vapor pressure difference between the skin and the environment. Therefore, the vapor pressure gradient is lower.

The Higher the Relative Humidity,the __________ Vapor Pressure Gradient Between
