Humidity is the amount of water vapor at any given time and relative humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the greatest amount it can hold at that air temperature.
Relative humidity becomes the ratio between the actual amount of water vapor present to the capacity that the air has at a particular moment. Just to be an optimist, if the glass is half-filled, the relative humidity is 50 percent. If the glass is three-quarters filled, the relative humidity is 75 percent.
Because it is relative to temperature!

relative humidity
HR= actual vapor pressure/ saturation vapor pressure
Either you have answered your own question in the question itself, or the question is essentially unanswerable - it depends on the actual meaning of the question. Do you want to know the difference in meaning beweeen the two terms, or the difference in the actual figures? The latter is unanswerable.
relative humidity
Relative humidity becomes the ratio between the actual amount of water vapor present to the capacity that the air has at a particular moment. Just to be an optimist, if the glass is half-filled, the relative humidity is 50 percent. If the glass is three-quarters filled, the relative humidity is 75 percent.
This is called relative humidity. It is the ratio between the actual humidity, and the humidity for saturated air - that is, the maximum amount of water air can hold. This saturation point is dependent on temperature.
Because it is relative to temperature!
Relative humidity indicates how near the air is to saturation, while mixing ratio shows the actual quantity of water vapor in the air.
Because it is relative to temperature!
relative humidity
HR= actual vapor pressure/ saturation vapor pressure
Relative humidity is a ratio of the actual water vapor content of the air to the amount of water vapor needed to reach saturation. Absolute humidity is the mass of water vapor contained in a given volume of air.
This is called the "relative humidity."
Humidity ratio or relative humidity id the ratio of the actual mass of water vapour that would saturate the air at the same temperature, the comfortable room humidity is 50%.
