at what temp does water boil
It seems like one of those basic science facts: Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius), right? Well, not always. It depends on where youâre doing the boiling. In fact, water will boil at about 202 degrees in Denver, due to the lower air pressure at such high elevations. In Pew Research Centerâs recent survey on science knowledge, only 34% of Americans knew that water boils at a lower temperature in the Mile High City than in Los Angeles, which is close to sea level.
