Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Relative humidity is the percentage of water vapour present in the air compared to the amount required for saturation at a specific temperature. Mixing ratio refers to the ratio of the mass of water vapour to the mass of dry air in a sample. Absolute humidity is the mass of water vapour present in a unit volume of air, and dew point is the temperature at which air becomes saturated and condensation forms.
