A measurement of how much water vapor is in the air at any particular place is called relative humidity. Relative humidity is measured with a psychrometer.

The amount of water actually contained in air compared to the amount it could contain is known as relative humidity.


Are temperature and thermal heat the same thing?

No temperature is a specific measurement of heat. Thus at a temperature of absolute zero there is no heat but there is a temperature measurement.


What temperature is saturation reached?

it doesn't depend on the temperature but depends on how much water was evaporated


What is the blast saturation temp?

The blast saturation term is basically referring to the boiling point. Everything has a different boiling temperature so please be more specific about what you want to know.


Who discovered that temperature is affected by temperature?

Perhaps you mean 'who discovered that thermal properties of materials vary with the temperature at which the measurement is done'. I don't know of a specific answer, but almost anyone who made a thermal measurement could have noticed this.


What is the unit of measurement of gas?

That depends what you want to measure about the gas: its volume, mass, transparency, temperature, etc. The really isn't such a thing as a "unit of measurement of gas", there are units of measurement for mass, volume, temperature, etc., all of which can be attributes of a specific gas.


What is value of specific humidity at saturation?

100%


What is a measure of the amount of water vapor that air is holding compared the amount that it can hold at a specific temperature?

relative humidity


How does a change in temperature affect relative humidity and specific humidity?

When the temperature of air is cooled or reduced the relative humidity (RH) increases. The moisture content of the air remains the same until the RH rises to the point of 100% saturation and condensation occurs.
