Air humidity measurements are based on the water content of the air, expressed as volume percentage:
Relative Humidity = percentage of saturation at a given temperature
Absolute Humidity = percentage of water in the air, regardless of saturation or temperature.
The humidity that is talked about in weather reports, is relative humidity.

What are the most common types of measurements performed by industrial humidity instruments?
Wet-bulb/dry-bulb humidity, relative humidity, vapor pressure, and dew point are the most common types of measurements performed by industrial humidity instruments.
Meteorologists can use measurements of infrared radiation to estimate?
temperature and humidity
What measurements are most useful for you to determine whether it will be a nice day outside?
Temperature and humidity are the measurements commonly used to assess the pleasantness of weather. These affect most how hot or cold it "feels" outside.
What is the relationship between physics and measurements?
Practically all measurements are based on physics.
Why is temperature countable but humidity is not?
The word humidity does have a plural, humidities, but the state of "being humid" itself is uncountable. What we actually measure as humidity is the relative humidity, comparing it to the maximum possible at that pressure and temperature. Referring to these measurements as "relative humidities" would not be grammatically incorrect, but you could also use the singular just as well. ("We're going to compare the relative humidity in Texas and Oklahoma.")
Humidity is measured based upon the what content of the air?
water vapor
What measurements is recorded in percentages?
relative humidity
What are the most common types of measurements performed by industrial humidity instruments?

14 Humidity is measured based upon the content of the air?
water vapor p.s this is right for pennfoster exams
Which measurements are recorded in percentages?
Relative humidity is recorded in percentages.
Meteorologists can use measurements of infrared radiation to estimate?
temperature and humidity
How do the relative humidity measurements for inside and outside compare?
They compare because relative humidity measures the maximum amount of moisture in the air.
Importance of surveying?
Everything that has to do with civil engineering is based upon the measurements of land surveying. Surveying gives the measurements that are vital to build things such as buildings, bridges, tunnels and other important things.
The Richter scale is based on measurements of?
The Richter scale is based on measurements of *Amplitude*. (^_^)
Is it based on or based upon?
Based upon is written more often.
What is a vector base image?
Vector-based files are more suitable for illustrations that require precise measurements, where as a bitmap image is not as sutible.
What measurements are most useful for you to determine whether it will be nice day outside?
Temperature and humidity are the measurements commonly used to assess the pleasantness of weather. These affect most how hot or cold it "feels" outside.
