Description
A HYGROMETER MEASURES THE AMOUNT OF HUMIDITY IN THE AIR. THE ATMOSPHERE ALWAYS CARRIES A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF WATER VAPOUR, THE PROPORTION OF WHICH VARIES WITH TEMPERATURE. THE WARMER THE AIR THE MORE MOISTURE IT WILL CONTAIN. AS AIR BECOMES COLDER THE WATER VAPOUR IN IT CONDENSES INTO MOISTURE TO PRODUCE DEW OR FROST. IN A MIST OR FOG THE AIR IS COMPLETELY SATURATED AND THIS IS CALLED 100% HUMIDITY.
