Relative Humidity is actually measure the amount of moisture in the air. It depends on how much of the air has water in it. Let's say that the RH is 50%, that means 50% of the air has water in it.
Relative humidity does not measure how hot it feels, but rather it measures the amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount the air can hold at a particular temperature. High relative humidity can make it feel hotter because it affects the body's ability to cool itself through sweating.
A hygrometer that uses a lithium chloride sensor measures relative humidity by sensing changes in electrical conductance. As humidity levels change, the conductivity of the lithium chloride sensor varies, allowing for the calculation of relative humidity based on these changes.
The amount of water vapor in the air compared to the maximum amount it can hold at a specific temperature is called relative humidity.
Relative humidity increases when the amount of moisture air can hold increases. The increase can be caused by the introduction of more moist air, OR a temperature drop of the air/moisture mixture without a loss of moisture. Colder air will hold less moisture than warm air; as the temperature goes down the amount of moisture relative to what the air can hold increases.
Relative humidity measures the amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount the air can hold at a given temperature. So, 75% relative humidity means the air is holding 75% of the maximum water vapor it can at the specific temperature. The actual amount of water vapor in the air will be different at 89°F and 25°F, but the relative humidity percentage indicates they both have the same degree of moisture saturation in relation to their respective temperature.
Relative humidity
You can measure relative humidity in a kitchen using a hygrometer, which is a device specifically designed to measure the amount of moisture in the air. Simply place the hygrometer in the kitchen and it will provide a reading of the relative humidity percentage.
Relative humidity
psychrometer
This is the measure of relative humidity. At 50 percent relative humidity, the air is holding half of what it could. It is relative humidity because it is related to the temperature and pressure of the air.

No, humidity and relative humidity are not the same. Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor in the air, while relative humidity is a measure of the amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount the air can hold at a specific temperature.
Relative humidity and humidity are related but not the same. Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor in the air, while relative humidity is a measure of how much water vapor the air is holding compared to the maximum amount it could hold at a given temperature.
There is no such thing as a sygrometer, but a hygrometer is a device that is used to measure the humidity of the air. It can indicate relative humidity or absolute 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.
Relative humidity is a measure of how much moisture is in the air compared to how much moisture the air can hold at a given temperature. If the relative humidity is 100%, the air is saturated and can hold no more moisture. Lower relative humidity means the air is drier and can still hold more moisture.
