Yes it does. Something boils when its vapor pressure equals the atmospheric pressure. The higher one goes the lower the pressure. If the pressure is lower then the water does not need as much vapor pressure in order to boil, and thus the temperature is lower.

What can change the boiling point of water?

The boiling point of water can be affected by changes in atmospheric pressure. At higher altitudes where the atmospheric pressure is lower, the boiling point of water is lower. Conversely, at lower altitudes with higher atmospheric pressure, the boiling point of water is higher.

What is the water boiling point at 16404 feet above sea level?

The boiling point of water at 16404 feet above sea level is around 187.7°F or 86.5°C. At higher altitudes, the atmospheric pressure is lower, leading to a lower boiling point for water compared to sea level.

How does normal boiling points differ from other boiling points of the same liquid?

The normal boiling point is the boiling point at sea level, or more precisely, at 1 atmosphere pressure. At higher elevations, or at lower atmospheric pressures, the boiling point is lower. At higher atmospheric pressures, the boiling point is higher.


What is the relation between the altitude compared to sea level and the boiling point of water?

In general, the higher the altitude, the lower the pressure, and the lower the pressure the lower the boiling point.

When does liquid water turn to gas?

At sea level, liquid water boils and becomes a gas at 212º F, or 100º C. Due to lower surrounding pressure it has a lower boiling point at higher altitudes (ex. boiling point is 202º F in Denver, CO, about 5,000ft. above sea level), and a higher boiling point at lower altitudes.
