Answer:

212 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple answer to this question is that the boiling point of water is 100 °C or 212 °F at 1 atmosphere of pressure (sea level). However, the value is not a constant. The boiling point of water depends on the atmospheric pressure, which changes according to elevation.
