A liquid at high pressure has a higher boiling point than when that liquid is at atmospheric pressure. For a given pressure, different liquids boil at different temperatures.

The boiling point of water is 212 degrees Fahrenheit or 100 degrees Celsius at sea level. That means in most places this is the temperatures of boiled water. However, as you rise above sea level ...

Chris Evans, Earby, Lancashire, UK • A liquid boils when the atmospheric pressure above its surface equals its vapour pressure. So as the former decreases, the liquid’s boiling point does too.

The temperature of the bath is then gradually raised until the vapour pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure. The temperature recorded then is the required boiling point. Nature ...

In Denver, the atmospheric pressure is only about 12 pounds per square inch, compared with 14.7 pounds per square inch in Los Angeles. With that much less pressure, you don’t need to apply as much ...

The atmospheric pressure on Mars is less than one percent that of Earth—low enough to cause water to boil at the interface between wet sediment and the atmosphere.
