It is measured in terms of percentage of humidity. A device to measure humidity is called hygrometer. The relative humidity of air can be measured by dry and wet bulb method.

Why does water vapour have less density than dry air?

First you must understand "density." Density is the amount of atoms in a given volume. You can artificially create situations when there are more atoms in a given volume where the atoms are either "dry air" or "water vapor." But in ordinary situations, water vapor is mixed with what we call "air" and in ordinary situations, "dry air" has less water vapor in a given volume, so, people tend to say that water vapor is "heavy" or more "dense" than "air" or "dry air."


The mass of water vapor contained in a given volume of air at a specific time?

Absolute humidity


What gas has 0.0 to 4.0?

Water Vapor Because If The Air Did Not Have Wator Vapor In It, It Would Be Very Staticy And Dry!


If you changed the water to water vapor in a pressure cooker what volume would the water vapor occupy?

If it remains sealed the volume remains the same.


What is the measure of the actual amount of water vapor in the air called?

This is called the absolute humidity, usually expressed in grams of water vapor per kilogram of air, but also by water vapor per unit volume of air (e.g. grams per cubic meter).


What is the difference between absolute and specific humidity?

Relative humidity is a ratio of the actual water vapor content of the air to the amount of water vapor needed to reach saturation. Absolute humidity is the mass of water vapor contained in a given volume of air.


The ratio of water vapor in a volume of air relative to how much water vapor that volume of air is capable of holding is called?

Relative humidity


A measure of the amount of matter in a given volume?

Density aka specific gravity is a measure of the amount of matter in a given volume. Actually specific gravity is not the measure of the amount of matter in a given value, it is a comparison of the density of the substance to water's density. Specific gravity is a unitless quantity.
