Географія 6 клас “Вологість повітря та його зміни”

This educational video lesson, prepared by geography teacher Nina Evgenievna from Odessa Lyceum No. 51, explains the concept of air humidity and its variations, aimed at 6th-grade students.

Main Ideas and Concepts

Presence of Water in the Air

Water exists everywhere—in oceans, rocks, plants, animals, and in the air. In the atmosphere, water can be present as raindrops, ice crystals, or lumps of ice.

Water Vapor and Evaporation

Evaporation is the process where water changes from liquid or solid into vapor (gas).
Due to evaporation, water vapor is always present in the atmosphere.

Air Humidity and Temperature Relationship

Air humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air.
The warmer the air, the more water vapor it can hold.

Types of Humidity

Absolute Humidity
- The actual amount of water vapor (in grams) contained in one cubic meter of air at a specific temperature and time.
Relative Humidity
- The ratio (expressed as a percentage) of the current amount of water vapor in the air to the maximum amount the air can hold at that temperature.
- It indicates how saturated the air is with moisture.

Saturation and Condensation

When air is saturated with water vapor, it condenses into visible droplets like dew or fog.
Absolute humidity alone does not fully describe humidity because air temperature constantly changes, affecting moisture capacity.

Influence of Wind

Wind can increase or decrease air humidity by moving moist or dry air masses.

Measurement of Humidity

Relative humidity is measured using a hygrometer, specifically a hair hygrometer which uses a degreased human hair that changes length depending on humidity, moving an instrument needle accordingly.

Climate and Humidity in Ukraine

Ukraine is in a temperate climate zone with distinct seasons.
In winter, relative humidity exceeds 80%, while in summer it drops to about 60%.
Deserts have very low humidity (50% or less), and air with 30% humidity is considered very dry and potentially harmful.
