Relative humidity is the volume of water vapor in a sample of the air, compared to the maximum that the air can hold at the given temperature, expressed as a percentage.
Water can "dissolve" in air. As the temperature and pressure of air goes up, the amount of water that can be held in the air increases.
We can measure the "absolute" humidity of air, but this isn't especially useful. It is more handy to know how much water is IN the air, as a percentage of the amount of water the air COULD hold.
That's "relative humidity". It is important because as the temperature rises, the air COULD hold more water, so the relative humidity falls. As the temperature falls, the relative humidity rises.
As the air cools, when the air can't hold any more water than it has now, the relative humidity is 100%, and we call this temperature the "dew point", when dew will begin to settle onto the grass. If the air gets much colder, the water will condense out of the air and form FOG.
In some cases, the air can hold more moisture than it ordinarily would, which is referred to as supersaturation, which is much more common at temperatures below the freezing point.
