A disadvantage of using relative humidity is that it cannot indicate how much the moisture content actually is. it can only show that the air is saturated.

What is the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount that could be in the air at that temperature?
relative humidity
What term is defined as the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount of water that the air can hold?
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.
When using a psychrometer and the two temperatures read nearly the same you can conclude that?
the air has a high relative humidityThe air has a high relative humidity
How can relative humidity and dew point be used to predict the weather?
Relative humidity expresses a percentage of humidity in the air to the maximum amount of humidity that could be in the air. For example: when the temperature rises the air will be able to hold much more humidity so the relative humidity will drop.
If temperature remains unchanged and mixing ratio decreases how will relative humidity change?
The relative humidity will decrease
Which is the comparison of the amount of moisture in the air to the amount of moisture it can hold?
relative humidity
How can you measure ralative humidity in a kitchen?
The relative humidity (RH) in a kitchen can be measured by using a humidity gauge. A maximum indoor relative humidity of 55% RH may be acceptable, but a 50% RH better is better.
Amount of moisture in air compared to amount needed in saturation?
Relative humidity.
What is the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount that could be in the air at that temperature?
relative humidity
What instrument measures relative humidity using two thermometers?
hygrometer psychrometer
What should the low and high end for humidity temperatures for your home?
30 to 50% of Relative humidity - the relative part of relative humidity being relative to the temperature.
What is the average humidity in baton rouge la US?
Average Relative Humidity: Baton Rouge Relative Humidity (Morning) 89% Baton Rouge Relative Humidity (Afternoon) 62%
How was the Hygrometer used?
hygrometer used to measure density of relative humidity in air by using a sensory element such as a hair
The actual humidity divided by the saturation humidity is the?
relative humidity
What term is defined as the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount of water that the air can hold?
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.
What instrument measures relative humidity using wet-bulb and dry-bulb thermometers?
Hygrometer
What instrument measures relative humidity using the electrical conductance of the chemical lithium chloride?
Hygrometer
