The short answer is both terms are different and describe different things about moisture in the air. The dew point is another temperature value. It is the temperature air needs to cool to become ...

Relative humidity measures how much moisture is in the air compared to how much it could hold at a given temperature. It is simply the dew point temperature divided by the air temperature, times 100.

(WHTM) — When temperatures rise, sometimes the air can feel dry and comfortable. But, sometimes it can feel downright tropical outside. This is caused by moisture in the air and it makes the air ...

There are multiple ways to describe how wet the air is (yes, pretty much all air is wet). What I mean by that is there are water molecules tucked in between the gases like nitrogen and oxygen that ...
