Question

Write a short note on humidity.

Answer 1

Humidity is the amount of water vapour present in the atmosphere. Humidity can be measured using a device called hygrometer. The increase in temperature results in low humidity and the decrease in temperature results in higher humidity in the atmosphere. Humidity plays an important role in the life process of plants and animals as it promotes the growth of epiphytes, regulates the evaporation of water from the body of living organisms and helps in the germination of spores in fungus.
