Water does boil at 212º Fahrenheit (100º Celsius) at the PRESSURE AT SEA LEVEL! The lower the pressure (higher altitude) the lower the boiling point of water. Or, if the pressure is manipulated, you can boil water at room temperature in a vacuum (lower pressure) using a bell jar and vacuum pump. As most cooks know, if water has a salt (say table salt) dissolved in it, it will slightly lower the boiling point of water at the same pressure/temperature conditions.

At sea level pressure, no. Water boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit, which is 100 degrees Celsius. However, boiling point depends on pressure. At higher pressure, water will boil at 220 degrees on either scale, though it would need to be higher to achieve such a boiling point in Celsius.

No. Water only boils at 100 deg C at sea level. Its boiling point depends on air pressure. Other substances boil at different temperatures.

Yes, super-heated water can be made to boil at 212 degrees Celsius. However, it would normally boil at 100 deg C.

Pure water does, at sea level. So we can say that "some" substances (well, "one" anyway) boil at 212F. Helium boils at a far lower temperature, so we can say that not "all" substances do.

Not at all. That's the boiling point for some standard pressure. The boiling point varies quite a lot, depending on the pressure.

Does the water in the radiator reach a boil?

Water in a car radiator does not normally boil. In some old cars, the cooling systems would run at about 220 degrees Fahrenheit. The pressure would be high enough so that the water would boil at 250 degrees. Today, you do not put water in radiators but coolant. It is much more efficient than water for cooling engines.

When will water boil at a temperature less than 100 degrees Celsius?

Water can boil below 100 degrees Celsius depending on the area of the world. A lab was conducted in science class that our water boiled at 94.6 degrees Celsius. The average boiling point for water is 100 degrees Celsius but that does not mean it will always be that degree to boil.
