What is humidification?

Humidification is the process in which the moisture or water vapor or humidity is added to the air. Common equipment used in this process is a humidifier. Dehumidification as the term suggests, is the opposite of humidification since dehumidification means removing the moisture from the air. Common equipment used in this process is a dehumidifier.
Humidity is the presence of water vapor or moisture in the air, while relative humidity, on the other hand, is the comparison of the actual moisture or water vapor in the air vs. the total water vapor or moisture that the air can handle.
