No. The keyword in this term is "relative." Relative humidity stands for the amount of moisture currently in the air with respect to (or relative to) the amount of moisture that can be held in the air. Colder air can hold less moisture than warm air, so there's a much greater chance of having 100% relative humidity when it's cool out than when it's warm out. For example, if you wake up on a cool morning and experience dew on the ground, it is because the cool air is holding as much moisture (i.e. humidity) as it possibly can. So you are experiencing 100% relative humidity. However, if that same amount of moisture stays in the air throughout the day, once the air warms up, the higher temperature allows for more moisture to be present in the air, and the air may not be fully saturated with moisture, thus you have a relative humidity that is less than 100%. So no, you do not have to be underwater to experience 100% relative humidity; in fact, underwater there is no air to surround you... so you're not experiencing any relative humidity at all.
Relative humidity can vary during rain, depending on factors such as temperature and amount of precipitation. Generally, during rain, relative humidity tends to be close to 100% due to the presence of moisture in the air from the rain.
Relative humidity is the ratio of specific humidity to the overall capacity. So in this case it is 10/50, or 20 percent.
Pollutants in the air can serve as condensation nuclei, promoting the formation of cloud droplets at lower humidity levels compared to clean air. This can result in clouds forming before humidity levels reach 100 percent. Additionally, pollutants like fine particles can absorb water, reducing the amount available for condensation, which can prevent humidity from reaching 100 percent.
No, air with 100 percent relative humidity is not considered dry. It means that the air is holding the maximum amount of water vapor it can hold at that temperature, making it saturated. Dry air would have a lower relative humidity percentage.
When relative humidity reaches 100 percent, it means the air is holding the maximum amount of water vapor it can. This often leads to the formation of fog, mist, or precipitation, as the air is too saturated to hold any more moisture.
It is raining
The average relative humidity on a rainy day would be closer to 100 percent humidity. Rain adds moisture to the air, increasing the humidity levels to near saturation point. This leads to a higher average relative humidity compared to a non-rainy day.
Saturated
relative humidity is 100 percent.
Water would not evaporate at 100 percent relative humidity because the air already holds the maximum amount of water vapor it can. This means no additional water can evaporate into the air until the humidity decreases.
That would be "dewpoint"...When the air temperature falls to the dewpoint (or dewpoint rises to the air temperature), then you have 100% relative humidity.

Relative humidity means the percentage of water vapor in the air compared to the total amount that could be contained. Or the measure of the amount of water vapor that air is holding compared to the amount it can hold at a specific temperature. This is different at different temperatures. Here are a couple of sentences:1. The relative humidity is 10 percent.2. We studied relative humidity in class.3. Saturation air has a relative humidity of 100 percent.
When relative humidity reaches 100 percent, it means the air is holding the maximum amount of water vapor it can. This often leads to the formation of fog, mist, or precipitation, as the air is too saturated to hold any more moisture.
