Water vapor in the air is absolute humidity. The ratio of the absolute humidity to the maximum absolute humidity for that temperature and pressure is called the "relative humidity." Absolute humidity is very frequently expressed in terms of grains per pound of air, ppm, or vapour pressure. Relative humidity is usually expressed as a percent.
Relative humidity, expressed as a percentage from 0% to 100%, is the amount of moisture in air divided by the total possible amount of moisture in air. Unfortunately, the total possible amount changes when the temperature changes, so the relative humidity can change without adding or removing any water.
Another measure is dew point, which is the temperature at which water would condense. It doesn't change with temperature.
The lowest measured relative humidity in Phoenix, AZ, USA, is 2%--pretty dry. Sometimes the dew point is below 0 degrees, also pretty dry. (Celsius or Fahrenheit? Both!)

What does a humidistat measure?
A humidastat works with a cooling unit or humidify. It measures the amount of humidity in the air. This can then trigger the unit to turn on or off removing excess humidity from the home.
What is a sabin?
A sabin is a unit of measurement which measures the absorbance of sound of a material.
Explain why precise measures are important?
to help with measurement that is related to the unit of measure
How many canals in one hector?
These units are not compatible to each other. canal is not the measurement unit while hectare is a measurement unit that measures length and distance.
What is the customary unit?
A customary unit is the unit of measurement that is used in the United States. It measures feet, yards, inches, pounds, pints and many more.
What is the device called that measures relative humidity?
A hygrometer measures humidity. Don't confuse it with a hydrometer which measures density.
Is one pound bigger than 1 kilometer?
Pounds and kilometers are measures of different things. A pound is a unit of measurement for mass or force, while a kilometer is a unit of measurement for length.
How many liters are in 500 millimeters?
A litre is a unit of capacity. A mililmetre is a unit of distance. The two units are therefore incompatible.
