Open in App
Solution

Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. Water vapor is the gaseous state of water and is invisible.

There are three main measurements of humidity: absolute, relative and specific. Absolute humidity is the water content of air at a given temperature expressed in gram per cubic meter. Relative humidity, expressed as a percent, measures the current absolute humidity relative to the maximum (highest point) for that temperature. Specific humidity is a ratio of the water vapor content of the mix to the total water content on a small basis.
