Description:

The correct term is Humidity, specifically Relative Humidity.

Relative humidity measures the amount of moisture in the air compared to the maximum amount the air could hold at a given temperature, expressed as a percentage.

Dew point, on the other hand, is the temperature at which air becomes saturated with moisture and condensation begins to form.
