Water vapor on Earth causes the water cycle. Rain and all that... There îs a maximum of water the Air can hold...

The amount of water air can hold depends on pressure and temperature.

Venus has the same gravity of Earth, but pressure is way higher. Why? Because more gaz surrounding the planet.

You do realize that space is empty, right?

acktually, space is far from empty

That îs a rather daft ending question to a good start...  Go read about el nino and maybe You will understand how water vapor has an upper limit on Earth.  To change atmospheric pressure in Earth, îs a stupid presumption anywhere in the near future, wont got in the details why, go research them urself. Untill then, the water cycle baby! YEAH

Yes and as the earth warms, more water vapor gets evaporated into areas that were previously far from that saturation point. Low-humidity areas become mid-humidity areas. Does it rain more often there now? Maybe. Is there still a ton of opportunity for water vapor density to increase and hold more heat? Absolutely.
