Humidity is the amount of moisture or water present in the air in the form of water vapors. It is measured in grams of water in a letter of air (mass/volume)
Relative humidity is the percentage of the moisture against the highest possible level of moisture in the air at a specific temperature.
Levels of humidity are measured using an instrument called a hygromete.
A simple hygrometer is known as a psychrometer which consists of a dry bulb and a wet bulb thermometer.
Relative humidity can also be measured by placing the intersection of the wet and dry bulb on a psychrometric chart. .
