Lungs alveoli has very large surface area, about 100 square meters. So air is fully saturated with water vapor and so it is more in amount.

When you inhale you take in?
When some people think of the air we breathe, the first thing that comes to mind is oxygen. While oxygen is the essential component of all breathing gases, the air around us is not pure oxygen. When you inhale, or breathe in, the air is roughly 78% (by volume) nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.96% argon and 0.04% carbon dioxide, helium, water, and other gases. When you exhale, or breathe out, the air coming out of your lungs is 4% to 5% carbon dioxide and 4% to 5% less oxygen than was inhaled (So, about 16% oxygen). You also breath out about 5% water vapor and other mentioned gases. If you're wondering why we can't just breath pure oxygen, it's because our reliance on this relatively small amount of oxygen can cause over activity or euphoria in pure or oxygen rich environments.

Why is wheezing usually worse when asthmatic exhale?
When you exhale, pressure increases in the lungs to cause exhalation- this also further constricts the bronchioles, however, making it harder to exhale. The pressure decreases again for inhalation, relieving the bronchioles andmaking it easier for the air to flow again. This is why wheezing is usually worse during exhalation.
