Air humidity measurements are based on the water content of the air, expressed as volume percentage: Relative Humidity = percentage of saturation at a given temperature Absolute Humidity = percentage of water in the air, regardless of saturation or temperature. The humidity that is talked about in weather reports, is relative humidity.
it doesn't depend on the temperature but depends on how much water was evaporated
relative humidity Humidity is the term that describes the level of air saturation.
If the wet and dry bulb readings are close to each other, it indicates that the air is near saturation and humidity is high. This means there is less difference between the actual air temperature and the temperature at which saturation occurs.

To calculate the vapor pressure deficit (VPD), subtract the actual vapor pressure (e) from the saturation vapor pressure (es) at a given temperature. The actual vapor pressure can be calculated using the relative humidity (RH) and the saturation vapor pressure can be determined from the temperature. The formula is VPD es - e, where es saturation vapor pressure and e actual vapor pressure.
The percentage of saturation of the air at a given temperature.
Realative humidity
relative humidity
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.

It is the maximum humidity, expressed as the saturation point for a given temperature.

That's an approximate definition of saturation. And the temperature at which the current amount of water vapor in the air would be the saturation point is called the dew point. The dew point is a measure of absolute humidity.
