Solution

The vapour content in the air is measured by Absolute humidity.

Explanation:

Absolute humidity is the direct measure of the actual mass of water vapor present in a specific volume of air, typically expressed in grams per cubic meter (g/m3). Therefore, it directly quantifies the actual vapour content in the atmosphere, whereas relative humidity only measures this content as a percentage of the maximum amount the air could hold at that temperature.
