Differences between rainfall and humidity
Answers
Explanation:
Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor in the air or atmosphere. It is characterized not by moist air but by the water content of the mixture of water vapor and other components of the air.and rainfall is rain which is fallen by the process of precipitation....... due to evaporation and condensation process .
Answer:
Humidity is the presence of water in the form of a gas. When water is its gaseous phase, it is often called “water vapor.” Even though water vapor is both colorless and odorless, we can tell when the atmosphere is saturated with moisture. When the relative humidity is high, wet surfaces take longer to dry. For example, recently used bath towels stay moist longer, puddles take longer to evaporate, and people seem to sweat more. When the relative humidity is very high, water vapor will condense out of its gas phase into liquid droplets, creating a layer of fog or of a film of dew. Alternately, when the humidity is fairly low, wet surfaces will dry very quickly, and the rapid evaporation of moisture from your skin, eyes, and lips will make them feel itchy and chapped.
In contrast, rain is composed of water in its liquid phase. Liquid water in the atmosphere takes the form of water droplets. Most cloud droplets are small enough that they can float in the atmosphere, buoyed by air currents. However, when atmospheric conditions are right, cloud droplets can grow larger than half a millimeter in diameter, at which point they fall to the ground in the form of rain, which is why rain is sometimes called rainfall.
