Answer:
the boiling point of water is 100 C or 212 F at 1 atmosphere of pressure (sea level).
Explanation:
However, the value is not a constant. The boiling point of water depends on the atmospheric pressure, which changes according to elevation. Water boils at a lower temperature as you gain altitude (e.g., going higher on a mountain), and boils at a higher temperature if you increase atmospheric pressure (coming back down to sea level or going below it).
