When does water boil?
Boiling occurs when bubbles form within a liquid,
marking a change from a substance’s liquid or
solid phase into a gas. The normal boiling point
is the temperature at which the liquid’s vapour
pressure equals the standard sea level atmospheric
pressure (760 mm [29.92 inches] of mercury). At sea
level, atmospheric pressure is high, and water boils
at 100 °C (212 °F); at higher altitudes it is lower,
so water boils at a lower temperature.
