Water (h2o) boils at 212 degrees Fahrenheit.

It boils at 100 degrees Celsius

This is however dependent upon atmospheric pressure.

The above is true down at sea level all over the world (however minor differences can be measured contributed by high or low pressure at the time.)

Very high up in the Andes mountains it is said that water boils at such a low temperature that it is even difficult to boil an egg without a pressure cooker.

You can easily make an experiment regarding boiling hot water.

Fill up a syringe halfway (preferably a large one) with boiling hot water.

Plug the hole at the end, and pull some more to make a negative pressure inside.

You will see the water starting to bubble. It boils due to the lowering of the pressure inside.
