KookyOrangutan5005, Take another look at the question! It said "hygrometer" , not "hydrometer" a hydrometer measures the specific gravity of a liquid (how much solid matter is suspended in the liquid.)

Floss4Me, No they're not!! Moisture refers to liquid water, humidity is water vapour. That is water in a gaseous state.

I think my late husband used one. He did HVAC work, including commercial work.

Antipodean, I think it's used to measure atmospheric pressure, important in weather prediction.

Isn't hygrometer an instrument used in agriculture. Anyway, I perceived a typo and still chose the correct answer.

" moisture or humidity" hydro means water, why didn't they give " moisture" as an answer??!😣

SilentDropbear205, I did the same thing on the last question. I pushed Hypoxemia, not Hypoxia, which sat right below the wrong answer!
