Hygrometer

A hygrometer measures the humidity of the air. 

Humidity is the amount of moisture (water vapour) in the air. 

A hygrometer has two thermometers, a dry one and a wet. 

Humidity is measured by using a table that looks at the difference between the wet bulb and the dry bulb. 

A hygrometer can also be used to find dew point. 

There is a difference between the dry and wet bulb thermometers because of latent heat created during the process of evaporation.
