In nature, air is known to contain water vapor in itself. When the water vapor condenses, or turns into liquid water, there is a very high chance of precipitation. The dew point temperature is the temperature at which the water vapor in air condenses into a liquid. When air is at the dew point temperature, a cloud begins to form.
Relative humidity is a long term that simply means is how full of water is air. Air can only hold so much water vapor, and when air is full of it, it is "saturated." When there is no water vapor in the air, there is 0% humidity. When air is full of water vapor and can't hold anymore, there is 100% humidity.

∙ 13y agoHumidity is scientifically a measure of the concentration of water vapor in the atmosphere, absolutely, or as a fraction (%) of the maximum possible the atmosphere can hold at the current temperature without condensation into water droplets (fog), known as relative humidity. Saturation means that addition of more water vapour results in condensation of the excess. If unsaturated air is cooled, the amount of water vapour it can hold before it condenses into droplets falls.

What describes the air level of air saturation?
relative humidity Humidity is the term that describes the level of air saturation.
What is value of specific humidity at saturation?
100%
Amount of moisture in air compared to amount needed in saturation?
Relative humidity.
What are humidity measurements based upon?
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 is saturation humidity?
When air is saturated at 30 degrees celsius
The actual humidity divided by the saturation humidity is the?
relative humidity
What term described the level of saturation?
relative humidity Humidity is the term that describes the level of air saturation.
What describes the air level of air saturation?
relative humidity Humidity is the term that describes the level of air saturation.
What is the differences between relative humidity and humidity?
Humidity is the amount of water vapor present in the air. The relative humidity is the measure of the amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the amount needed for saturation.
What does it mean when humidity is 100 percent?
This is called relative humidity. It is the ratio between the actual humidity, and the humidity for saturated air - that is, the maximum amount of water air can hold. This saturation point is dependent on temperature.
What is value of specific humidity at saturation?
100%
Amount of moisture in air compared to amount needed in saturation?
Relative humidity.
What are humidity measurements based upon?
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 is the difference between a normal object and a wet object?
weight and saturation.
What is saturation humidity?
When air is saturated at 30 degrees celsius
What is the difference between saturation and solubility?
Saturation and solubility is the same. They both meant to point out the maximum of solute dissolved through out the solvent.
What term describes the level of air saturations?
relative humidity Humidity is the term that describes the level of air saturation.
