Solution(By Examveda Team)
When the relative humidity is 50% and air temperature is 30°C, a cooling of air mass decreases the relative humidity. Relative humidity (RH) is the percentage of the maximum amount of water vapour the air at the current temperature can hold before saturation.Related Questions on Atmosphere
