At what temperature does water boil at sea level, in Celsius?

Explanation

Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius (212 F) at standard atmospheric pressure, meaning sea level. This boiling point decreases at higher altitudes because atmospheric pressure is lower, which is why food takes longer to cook in mountainous regions. Boiling occurs when a liquid’s vapor pressure equals the surrounding atmospheric pressure. Explore more Everyday Science MCQs on mcqstutor to keep practicing.
