Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sensible temperature is the temperature that we perceive with our sense of touch, which takes into account factors such as air temperature, humidity, wind, and solar radiation. It is different from dewpoint temperature (A) which is the temperature at which the air becomes saturated with water vapor, causing dew or fog to form. Latent temperature (C) refers to the heat energy released or absorbed during a phase change of a substance (e.g. water vapor turning into liquid or ice), while common (D) and adiabatic (E) do not describe temperature concepts.
