Correct vs Incorrect Understanding of Humidity Types

The map in words

  • Humidity Measurement
    • Type?
      • Relative: Percentage
        • Actual moisture / Maximum capacity × 100
      • Absolute: g/m³
        • Actual water vapor mass per volume
  • Wrong Thinking
    • Both are same thing
      • Use terms interchangeably
        • Exam Error
  • Correct Thinking
