Would sweat evaporate more quickly if the humidity were 92 percent or 37 percent?

I believe when you said Humidity, it meant Relative Humidity. When RH is more, in your case 92 percent, the air can absorb less water than the RH is at 37 percent. That is the reason we sweat when the humidity is more in the atmosphere. High temperature with less atmospheric RH is popularly known as DRY heat, where your sweat will readily evaporate and you will never know you are perspiring until you feel dizzy or faint out with sun stroke.

What is the density of perfume?
The fragrance is usually dissolved in alcohol, and this in turn is dissolved in water. Otherwise, it would probably evaporate too quickly.
Would pure isopropyl alcohol evaporate more quickly or slowly that a mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water?
Pure alcohol evaporates faster than pure water. A mixture of the two will slow the evaporation of the alcohol.

Would pond water evaporate faster in winter or summer?
At any ambient temperature.Explaination for school kidEvaporation of water is different from concept of boiling. Air can uptake small amount of water and long as the air is not saturate, it will drawn any liquid water to fill the content.Dry skin over cold day was due to this evaporation. The hot and humid day cause sweat because the air is filled with water and our sweat can't evaporate.Scientific explainationEvaporation take place when the partial pressure of water (water content) in air is less than the vapour pressure of water. The vapour pressure is depending on temperature. With rising temperature, vapour pressure is higher and when the vapour pressure equal to atmospheric pressure, all water will change to gas and that is the boiling. Though the temperature is at ambient but if the water content in air is less than the vapour pressure, the water still evaporate at ambient temperature.
Would your sweat evaporate more quickly if there were a 92 percent humidity?

What is the percent of relative humidity when raining?
The relative humidity when it is raining is generally considered to be 100% since if it was lower the rain would evaporate before it reach the ground.
Would the average relative humidity on a rainy day be closer to 100 percent humidity or 50 percent humidity?
100%.

Why do we sweat more in humidity?
It is actually not a matter of sweating more but of it being more difficult to evaporate the sweat. If you are in a dry and windy place it is very simple for sweat to evaporate, in a more humid area there is more water in the air already and therefore makes evaporation of the sweat much more difficult. Then it would appear that you sweat more because you are seeing the sweat, however it is a matter of evaporation.
Which factor out of wind or teperaure will make water evapororate faster?
Temperature will make water evaporate more quickly than wind. Wind will just separate the water molecules, which would then cause them to evaporate a little more quickly.
How long would it take for 5 ml of water to evaporate?
How hot? How much surface area? What is the humidity in the ambient air? Your question cannot be answered without more information.
