A dry bulb thermometer is an ordinary one. It's given this name when it's used to measure air temperature. A wet bulb thermometer takes into account humidity.
The two parts of a psychrometer is the dry-bulb thermometer and the wet-bulb thermometer.

psychrometer
the wet bulb is cooler
A dry and wet bulb thermometer works via being moisturized in conjunction with a wet cotton swab which would evaporate. From there, the temperatures are recorded before more recordings for other temperatures are done with a psychometric chat regarding one's findings with the dry and wet bulb thermometer.
because the water causes the temperature to be lower
yes
No, the humidity is high when wet and dry bulb temps are far apart.
You would use both to determine the relative humidity.
humidity
as the air passes over the wet bulb thermometer the water in the cloth evaporates. as the water evaporates the cloth cools. if the humidity is low the water will evaporate more quickly and the temperature reading on the wet bulb thermometer will drop. if the humidity is high only a little bit of water will evaporate from the cloth of the wet bulb thermometer and the change in temperature will be small.
