why is there more heat in humidity.?

Answer 1

Coz` water is better heat conductor than air.

Answer 2

Humidity is water in the air.
Firstly, this water acts like a greenhouse gas, trapping heat in the area.
Secondly, it reduces the effectiveness of sweating: as there is already lots of water in the air, your sweat does not evaporate off your skin very well. This means that your sweating doesn't cool you down, so you stay hot and sweaty.

Answer 3

We feel hotter when the air is more humid, because the moisture vapour in the air prevents our sweat evaporating, and it is the evaporation of sweat that cools us down. (Liquids absorb heat when they evaporate; carrying it away from our bodies. This is called the latent heat of evaporation. Air conditioners work on the same principle)

Answer 4

There isn't more heat in humidity. Humidity makes you feel warmer because it doesn't allow perspiration to evaporate as much and therefore you have less evaporative cooling.

Answer 5

Humidity basically means there is more moisture or water vapour in the air. Water vapour is actually a greenhouse gas and traps heat, giving the air that hot, heavy feeling.

Answer 6

its not heat, its just the osmosis process which occurs due to high humidity.. the increase in water level outside our body, results in spilling water from our body.. which ou call "sweat". Due to osmosis, you kinda feel "sticky" and then you start feeling "heat".. its not actually heat but its that "sticky" feeling which arises when water from your body seeps out of the body and sticks to the body itself like it happens whenever it rains.. its the humidity only which makes you feel like its 50 degrees when temperature is not even 40 degs>..

Answer 7

its the other war around...there is more humidity in heat because cold air doesnt hold water and warm air does.....
