Answer: Relative humidity

Step-by-step explanation:

Relative humidity (RH) is the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor to the equilibrium vapor pressure of water at a given temperature. Relative humidity depends on temperature and the pressure of the system of interest. The same amount of water vapor has higher relative humidity in cool air than in warm air. A related parameter to that regard is that of dew point.
