About This Project

This website is designed to provide comprehensive information about how the boiling point of water changes with altitude. It helps students, travelers, and cooking enthusiasts understand the science behind boiling temperatures at various elevations.

Boiling point of water at different altitudes.

Altitude Chart

Altitude (feet) Boiling Point (°F) Boiling Point (°C)
1,000 210.1 98.9
2,000 208.2 97.9
5,000 203.8 95.4
7,500 198.3 92.4

Why is This Important?

As altitude increases, atmospheric pressure decreases, which lowers the boiling point of water. Understanding this is essential for activities like cooking, scientific experiments, and even engineering applications.
