212F or 100C

Like they said...212 degrees F or 100 degrees C.
However, that is at sea level. Not in the mountains. As elevation increases there is less air pressure on the water and this allows the water to boil at a lower temperature.
Two examples:
Yellowstone National Park: The water in the pools and geysers boils at 199 degrees F because of the high elevation above sea level.
Car radiator: With the radiator cap on, the water temperature easily reaches 240 - 250 degrees without boiling. That is because of the higher pressure inside the cooling system of the engine. If you open the radiator cap, the pressure drops rapidly and the water instantly boils. This usually will burn you pretty bad.

The boiling point of water is 212 Degrees Fahrenheit or 100 Degrees Celsius

Depends on your altitude and the barometric pressure above the solution. Water's boiling point at atmospheric pressure (760 torr) is 100 C, 212 F, or 373 K.

The boiling point of water is when the vapor pressure of water equals the atmospheric pressure being exerted on it. One example of a boiling point is 100c at 760 Torrs. As pressure decreases, the temperature of the boiling point also decreases.
As temperature increases, the vapor pressure of water increases. You can adjust either the temperature of the water or the pressure exerted on it to make it boil. Water boils at 760 T when it is 100C

Hey Alex, did your science teacher die last night???? Or is he "steaming" mad that idiots are allowed to patrol this planet disguised as wasted human protoplasm?
On top of all the other answers- the more informative one being that air pressure changes the boiling point- this also changes cooking time. A potato cooks faster in LA than it does in Denver.
I ain't got time to quote times. Regards.

Boiling of water is when liquid water is turned into the gaseous state due to the breaking of hydrogen bonds. This is done at 100degrees Celcius.

If you mean boiling point of water I believe it's 100 degrees Celsius.

Not quite enough information.
Boiling Temperature of water is 100 degrees celcius, at sea level.
