The humidity of a place refers to
(a) the rainfall
(b) the amount of water vapour in the air
(c) the snowfall
(d) all of the above

Correct Answer: (b) the amount of water vapor in the air

Explanation:

Humidity is the measure of the amount of water vapor present in the air. Water vapor is the gaseous state of water and is invisible to the human eye. Humidity indicates the likelihood for precipitation, dew, or fog to be present in a given area.

Relative humidity refers to the water vapor present in the air. It gives us how much vapor is in the air compared to the actual amount that must be present at that temperature.

For example, relative humidity of 20 percent means that the air is holding one-fifth of the water vapor it can actually hold at that temperature.
