The correct Answer is:
To determine the units of Relative Humidity (RH), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Definition of Relative Humidity Relative Humidity (RH) is defined as the ratio of the actual water vapor content in the air to the maximum (saturated) water vapor content that the air can hold at the same temperature. ### Step 2: Express the Ratio Mathematically, RH can be expressed as: \[ RH = \frac{\text{Actual Water Vapor Content}}{\text{Saturated Water Vapor Content}} \] ### Step 3: Analyze the Ratio Since RH is a ratio of two quantities that are both measured in the same units (for example, grams of water vapor per cubic meter of air), the units cancel out. ### Step 4: Conclusion on Units Because RH is a ratio, it is often expressed as a percentage. However, as a ratio itself, it has no units. Therefore, the units of RH are: - No unit (dimensionless). ### Final Answer The units of Relative Humidity (RH) are: **No unit**. ---
