When water reaches 0 degrees centigrade (32 degrees Fahrenheit) it begins to change to ice, a solid. This process of changing to ice can be very slow with the temperature changing throughout the day, water also doesn't instantly change to ice when the temperature hits 0 degrees centigrade, it takes time. The amount of time it takes varies on how far the temperature goes below 0 degrees centigrade. We also call 0 degrees centigrade (32 degrees Fahrenheit) the freezing point.

To answer your question water can be either a solid or a liquid at the freezing point depending on if it's already ice, or it was water before.

How can you change liquid water into a solid or a gas?

To change liquid water into a solid, you need to lower the temperature below 0 degrees Celsius to freeze it. To change liquid water into a gas, you need to raise the temperature above 100 degrees Celsius to evaporate it.

What are the three physical forms that water occurs in?

Solid, Liquid, Gas. Water will take on these forms at different temperatures. Liquid at above 32 degrees Fahrenheit, Solid at 32 degrees Fahrenheit and below, and Gas at 212 degrees Fahrenheit.


What can be a solid when it's cool and a liquid when it's not?

Water is a solid when it's 0 degrees Celsius or lower and a liquid at 0 degrees Celsius or higher and when it is 100 degrees Celsius it turns in to a gas


What is an example object that is a solid liquid and a gas?

Anything can be solid, liquid or gas, but the easiest example is probably water. Water freezes/melts at 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) and boils/condenses at 212 F (100C) and is liquid at normal room temperature.


If you boil water does it turn into a gas or a solid?

I turns into a gas not a solid because the only way you can make it a solid is by freezing it and this is applying heat

Is water vapor a solid liquid or a gas?

Water vapor is a gas, not a solid or a liquid. It is the gaseous state of water when it is heated to its boiling point and evaporates into the air. Water in its liquid state becomes water vapor when it reaches a temperature of 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) at standard atmospheric pressure.


What are the three phases of water?
