Reply to comment by WellMakeItSomehow in Does cold temperature make vistas more 'crisp' looking? by colorado_hick

No, you're thinking of absolute humidity.

Lower (higher) temperature for the same amount of water vapor results in higher (lower) relative humidity.

Right, if it gets colder, that doesn't mean there's less water in the air. That makes sense, thank you.

Sounds like you got it backwards. If it gets colder, it means there will be less water/humidity in the air. Colder air will be "dryer" then warmer air.Its why your skin and lips tend to dry out when your outside in the winter, if that helps your imagination.
Edit.. oh right just noticed the comment below, heh
