  1. humid air on a cold day is less dense,simply because cold air shrinks the water cells making them to gather tighter together, making more space for airflow.


  2. We sense humidity (when we arn't dripping) by our ability to sweat.  We don't need to sweat when it is cool, so with the same relative humidity, we do not have our own moisture attempting to mix with the air.

  3. There's considerably more water in warm air.

  4. Cold air allows less moisture while hot air is lighter and holds more.    The relative humdity would not be the same.

  5. Air is not a solution, it is a mixture of gasses. As temperature the absolute humidity increases so the there is  the potential for more vapour in the atmosphere. The higher the temperature the greater the evaporation so the greater the relative humidity so the air feels more moist. With this the important thing is to understand the concept of absolute and relative. humidity
