Relative Humidity can be measured with a psychrometer. A psychrometer has two thermometers, a wet-bulb and dry-bulb. The wet-bulb has a wet cloth on one end. If the wet-bulb is colder than the dry-bulb, than you apply the information to a psychrometer chart, which tells you the relative humidity, from which you can determine "high" or "low".

EzraRelative humidity can be calculated using the formula:
Relative Humidity = (Actual Vapor Pressure / Saturation Vapor Pressure) x 100
Where: Actual Vapor Pressure is the pressure exerted by water vapor in the air, and Saturation Vapor Pressure is the maximum pressure possible at a given temperature.

Convert dew point to absolute humidity?
To convert from dew point to absolute humidity, you need to know the temperature of the air. The formula to calculate absolute humidity is: Absolute Humidity = 216.7 * (e/(T + 273.15)), where e is the vapor pressure at the dew point temperature and T is the temperature in degrees Celsius.
What is the formula for the work?
W=Fdf=ma
What is the formula to determine wft?
The formula to determine Work Function Threshold (WFT) is: WFT = E - Work Function, where E is the energy of the incident photon and the Work Function is the minimum energy required to remove an electron from a material.
How is the HUMIDEX calculated?
The HUMIDEX is calculated using the air temperature and the relative humidity. It combines these two factors to represent the perceived temperature or how hot it feels to our bodies when humidity levels are considered. The formula takes into account the evaporative cooling effect of perspiration being hindered by high humidity.
Which is the comparison of the amount of moisture in the air to the amount of moisture it can hold?
relative humidity
