Does the antifreeze you put in a car radiator have a lower or higher freezing point than water

Hello!
Antifreeze says it in the name. This means that it helps prevent freezing. The liquid that would freeze if you wouldnt use the antifreeze is water. This means that the antifreeze has to have a higher freezing point then water, because otherwise it would only freeze faster!

Hope this helped you!
