A large body of air with consistent temperature and moisture characteristics.

Example Problem 1-At 45°F, the air can hold 18 grams of water, but it holds only 6 grams. What is the relative humidity?

Solution: (6 / 18) x 100 = 33.3%.

Example Problem 2-At 75°F, the air holds 32 grams of water vapor out of a possible 100 grams. What is the relative humidity?

Solution: (32 / 100) x 100 = 32%.
