Question 1 of 27070

Q

The instrument most commonly used to gather the data for determining the relative humidity is the __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• difference between humidity and air pressure • what each instrument typically measures in basic weather observations • how relative humidity is obtained (often using two temperature readings)

💭 Think About

• Which instrument is specifically designed to help measure the moisture content in the air, rather than wind, pressure, or liquid density? • Think about which device often uses a pair of thermometers (wet-bulb and dry-bulb) to compare temperatures. • For each option, ask yourself: have I seen this term associated with wind speed, pressure, or liquids instead of air moisture?

✅ Before You Answer

• Match each instrument name to its primary measurement (wind speed, air pressure, humidity, or liquid density). • Recall which device uses two thermometers to indirectly determine humidity. • Eliminate any instruments that are clearly used for wind or pressure measurements before choosing.
