Topics in Humidity

1. Meaning of Humidity

  • Humidity is the amount of water vapour present in the air at a particular time and place.
  • Water in the atmosphere occurs as ice, liquid water, and water vapour.
  • Humidity is measured in percentage.

2. Relative Humidity and Absolute Humidity

  • Relative humidity is the ratio between the actual amount of water vapour present in the air and the maximum amount of water the air can hold at that temperature.
  • Relative humidity is always expressed in percentage.
  • 100% relative humidity means air is fully saturated and cannot hold more water vapour, so rain may occur.

3. Condensation and Forms of Condensation

  • Condensation is the change of invisible water vapour into water or ice.
  • Condensation depends on the relative humidity of air and the rate of cooling.
  • If air is cooled below its dew point, water vapour becomes liquid.
