What is the point that air boils?

Air cannot boil, because it is already a gas. (A liquid needs to boil to form a gas.)

Ah- but air can be turned into a liquid at VERY low temperatures.

Air is composed of about 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% argon.

The boiling points of these are -196, -183 and -186 °C respectively.

Therefore air should be completely liquefied below -196 °C and completely vaporized above -183 °C.

Why does water boils at lower temperatures than in a valley?

Water boils at lower temperatures at higher altitudes because the atmospheric pressure is lower. In a valley, the air pressure is greater, which allows water to reach a higher temperature before boiling. At higher altitudes, where the air pressure is lower, the boiling point of water decreases.
