    You can show a group of people who have sweated more in an environment with higher relative humidity. And a group of people who have sweated less in a lower humidity environment.

    Explanation:

    We often say that the air is "heavy". This expression indicates that "heavy" air has a high Relative Humidity (RH), which is the ratio between the amount of water vapor in a given volume of air at a given time and the amount of vapor that this volume could contain. if the air was saturated at the same temperature and pressure.

    During the day we know that relative humidity has a cycle with maximum values at dawn and early in the morning, and minimum values in the middle of the afternoon. This variation is generally not associated with a decrease in the amount of air vapor, but with a change in temperature during the day, with an increase in evaporation potential in the afternoon.

    Increased evaporation or perspiration is associated with the degree of human comfort felt in a given situation. Increasing the relative humidity of the air leads to an increase in the rate of perspiration, the effect of which is enhanced in a situation where the air is already dry. One way to show evidence of this in an experiment is to bring a group of people together in a high humidity environment and show that they had a higher rate of perspiration and bring together a group of people with a lower humidity rate and show that they people had a lower rate of sweating.
