Item WC003002: Air temperature and humidity can be different in different places.
Two students who live in different states measure the temperature and the humidity of the air outside their homes at the same time, and they compare their results. Could the temperature and humidity of the air at the two different places be different?
- Yes, both the temperature and the humidity at the two places could be different.
- The temperature of the air at the two places could be different, but the humidity of the air at both places must be the same because the humidity of air is the same everywhere at the earth’s surface.
