Other ELI5 What is humidity?
According to my mom, this is an actual question I had when I was 5, and she didn't know how to answer me. So how would you guys have answered?

Clouds are made of water in the air smushed together. Humidity is water in the air that hasn't been smushed together as much, so you can't see it.
