The boiling point of water is 100 °C (212 °F) at standard pressure. On top of Mount Everest the pressure is about 260 mbar (26.39 kPa) so the boiling point of water is 69 °C. (156.2 °F).

The boiling point of water changes with altitude. While it boils at 100C at sea level, at the summit of Mount Everest water would boil at a lower temperature of 72C.

Pressure is much lower at the top of Mount Everest. PV=nRT. If pressure, P, goes down, then T, temperature, goes down. More temperature must be added.

The boiling point on Mount Everest - whether at its base or on its summit - is the boiling point of water at different pressures. Within the relevant range of atmospheric pressure, the boining point ranges from around 100 deg C to 70 deg C.Water does not boil at room temperature and so the comparison is somewhat nonsensical.

No.Because,on mount everest, atmospheric pressure is very low than on seashore. So, the vapor pressure required for boiling is low and vapor pressure is directly proportional with temperature.Hence, water will boil at the temperature less than 100C.
The boiling point of water is 100 °C (212 °F) at standard pressure. On top of Mount Everest, at 8,848 m elevation, the pressure is about 260 mbar (26.39 kPa) and the boiling point of water is 69 °C. (156.2 °F).
Expeditions on Mount Everest do not take any water with them. They melt the snow and ice that is on the mountain to use as there water.
it is difficult to make tea on mount Everest because as we go higher the pressure is reduced and so the boiling point of water is decreased to 70 degrees so it is difficult to make tea on mount Everest by your friend Mohammed Khalid Mohammed 12 years living in Riyadh
It would take longer for an egg to cook on Mount Everest due to the higher altitude and lower boiling point of water, which would result in lower cooking temperatures. In Death Valley, the higher temperatures would lead to faster cooking times despite the extreme heat.
