What’s the ratio of air to water at that percent? Is there a cap on the amount of moisture in the air? Is it the same for different elevations?

“What’s the ratio of air to water at that percent?”

It depends on the temperature. There’s more water at 80 degrees and 100% relative humidity than at 60 degrees and 100% rh.

At 100% rh and 60 degrees there’s 0.0107 pounds of water for every pound of air. At 80 there’s 0.02244 pounds of water per pound of air.

If you live in Florida like I do – it means you are going to be sweating in places that you don’t want to sweat in.
