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 relative humidity of the air?
The relative humidity of the air is a measure of how much moisture is in the air compared to the maximum amount of moisture the air can hold at a given temperature. It is expressed as a percentage and indicates how close the air is to reaching its saturation point.
What is the meanig of humid?
Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. Humidity is usually expressed as a percentage of the maximum that the air could hold at that temperature.
What things are true about relative humidity?
the things that are true about it is that it is a percentage
What tools do you use to measure precipitation and humidity?
A small inexpensive instrument for measuring humidity is called a Hygrometer (sometimes they are also called relative humidity indicator or humidity sensor). These instruments measure humidity.
Is relative humidity expressed as a fraction?
It is expressed as a percentage (fraction of 100%).
Measure of humidity?
Relative humidity and is expressed as a percentage. Absolute humidity is expressed as a concentration - mg/L. Specific humidity is a ratio of masses - water to air in a finite volume.

The humidity that is talked about in weather reports, is relative humidity.
Is humidity a percentage?
Yes, humidity is expressed as a percentage. When the dewpoint and the humidity are nearly the exactly the same or exactly the same as the air temperature, you'll have fog. The higher the dewpoint, the more humid it will feel.
Relative humidity is always expressed?
Yes. It is the percentage of the maximum water vapor content for a given temperature.
What is a number called when it is expressed as a fraction of 100?
A percentage.
How do you put the word relative humidity in a sentence?
The relative humidity is very high today. It is the fraction of water vapor in the air expressed as a percentage of the level where it condenses to a fog.
How is relative humidity is expressed?
As a percentage. It is the water vapor content of the air compared to the normal maximum content at that temperature. (For supercooled air, the humidity is more than 100% for the temperature.)
How does a meteorologist express the amount of moisture in the air?
It is called relative humidity and it is expressed in percentages.
What is a number divided by the maximum value then multiplied by 100 called?
It is the number expressed as a percentage of the maximum.
The amount of water vapor that actually exists in the air at a given time is what?
specific humidity
What is 7.75 expressed as a percentage?
7.75 expressed as a percentage = 775%
