Moisture is an absolute essential in our atmosphere. Without moisture there would be no clouds, precipitation, and probably no life! Fortunately there is a limited amount of moisture available in the atmosphere. It appears in three forms: gas (humidity), liquid (precipitation), and solid (ice and snow).
Precipitation occurs in clouds when rapid condensation takes place. The fallen moisture returns to the oceans, rivers and streams as runoff and ground water where it evaporates again. This recycling of moisture is the hydrologic cycle.

Precipitation means solid or liquid moisture falling from the sky and Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. So by definition, humidity is not any form of Precipitation.
