Detailed explanation-1: -As air warms, its capacity for holding water vapor increases; as it cools, the capacity decreases. The maximum water vapor capacity of a volume increase at an increasing rate as temperature increases.
Detailed explanation-2: -Looking at your Capacity of Saturated Air table, you can see that as air temperatures rise, there is an increase in the ability of the air to hold moisture. At 80 degrees F the capacity of air increases to where it can hold 21.537 g/kg of water vapor.
Detailed explanation-3: -This process where water vapour cools down into liquid droplets is called condensation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Because warmer air holds more moisture, its concentration of water vapor increases. Specifically, this happens because water vapor does not condense and precipitate out of the atmosphere as easily at higher temperatures.
