Levegvíz

Levegvíz is a Hungarian term that translates to "air water" or "air moisture." It refers to the water vapor present in the atmosphere, which plays a crucial role in weather and climate. This invisible gas originates from the evaporation of surface water bodies, transpiration from plants, and sublimation of ice and snow.

The amount of air moisture in a given volume of air is quantified by humidity. Relative humidity, a common measure, expresses the ratio of the current water vapor content to the maximum amount the air can hold at a specific temperature. When air cools to its dew point, the temperature at which it becomes saturated, the water vapor begins to condense, forming dew, fog, or clouds.

Levegvíz is a fundamental component of the Earth's water cycle. It is transported globally by atmospheric currents, influencing precipitation patterns and regulating surface temperatures. Without air moisture, rainfall would cease, and the planet would experience extreme temperature fluctuations. Understanding and measuring levegvíz is therefore essential for meteorological forecasting and climate modeling. Its presence is vital for life on Earth, supporting ecosystems and providing the water necessary for all living organisms.
