Boiling point is the point at which vapour pressure equals atmospheric pressure.
In a liquid, some particles always have enough energy to escape to the gas phase. Gaseous particles are also returning to the liquid.
The vapour pressure is the pressure exerted by the gas when the amount of particles leaving the liquid equals the amount of particles entering the liquid

Explanation:
At a higher elevation, the lower atmospheric pressure means heated water reaches its boiling point more quickly—i.e., at a lower temperature. Water at sea level boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit; at 5,000 feet above sea level, the boiling point is 203 degrees F
