Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Both are measures of the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. Relative humidity is the ratio between the amount of water vapor in the air to the maximum water vapor possible in the air at the given temperature. It is expressed as a percentage. Relative humidity varies because of water vapor or temperature changes in the air. Specific humidity is a measure of the mass of water vapor (g) per mass of air (kg). Because specific humidity is a mass, it is not affected by changes in temperature and pressure. The maximum mass of water vapor possible in a kg of air at a specified temperature is the maximum specific humidity. To convert from specific humidity to relative humidity, divide the specific humidity by the maximum specific humidity and multiply by 100.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).
