Work Step by Step

Warm air rises and holds more water than cold air. This is because,when air is warmed,the water molecules in the air also get warmed, giving them more energy. These high energy water molecules are less likely to condense .So, warm air, which is filled with high-energy water molecules has higher water content since the water molecules present in cooler air easily condense.
