Humidity is the concentration of water molecules existing as vapor. The actual measurement is "relative humidity" because it does not determine the volume directly, only the ratio of the volume compared to the maximum the air can hold at that temperature. This dtermines the amount of condensation that can occur if the air is cooled.

What is it called when water vapor is measured in comparison to how much there is to how much there could be?

It is called the "relative humidity". The outside air today could have saturation (100% humidity). But is is actually 42% relative humidity. That's "how much there is compared to how much there could be".

How do you measure humidity in the temperature?

Humidity is measured using a hygrometer, which measures the amount of water vapor in the air. Temperature and humidity are related but measured separately. The combination of temperature and humidity can be used to calculate the heat index, which is a measure of how hot it feels.
