Which term describes the level of water vapor in the atmosphere?

• A. Damp
• B. Moisture
• C. Humidity
• D. Winter Solstice

Answer: (C)

Humidity describes how much water vapor is in the air. It’s the precise term used to talk about the moisture content of the atmosphere, including concepts like relative humidity (how close the air is to holding as much water vapor as possible at the current temperature) and absolute humidity (the mass of water vapor per volume of air). Damp and moisture are everyday, non-technical words for wetness, not specifically about atmospheric water vapor content, and the winter solstice is a solar calendar term with no relation to air moisture.
