∙ 13y agoIf the relative humidity is at 75%, the air is not holding it's maximuim amount of water vapor. If it was holding its maxumum amount it would be 100%. The formula for that is:
Actual water vapor
_______________ * 100 Equals the percent

∙ 13y agoTo make this easier to explain, I'll define relative humidity.
A measure of how much water vapor is in the air compared to how much it can hold, given as a percentage.
If it is at 50%, then there is 50% of the maximum amount of water vapor in the air that it can hold.

∙ 15y agoA relative humidity of 75% means that the air is holding 75% of the total water vapor that it can hold at that temperature, hence the name relative humidity.

The air is holding 50 percent moisture
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.
Relative humidity rarely reaches 100% humidity when air is polluted. This is do to emissions of carbon dioxide and sulfates, and is known as haze.
This is the measure of relative humidity. At 50 percent relative humidity, the air is holding half of what it could. It is relative humidity because it is related to the temperature and pressure of the air.
the air is holding only 25 percent of the water vapor it can hold at that temperature
Relative humidity is the ratio of specific humidity to the overall capacity. So in this case it is 10/50, or 20 percent.
That's the 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.

No, it means the air can only hold 10% more moisture at the current temperature..
