The boiling point is that temperature where a liquid starts becomming a gas at a given pressure.
The boiling point of water at one standard atmosphere is 100°C, 373°K, or 212°F

I presume you mean boiling point. Depends on the substance. Different substances have different boiling points. For pure water it's 212 degrees Fahrenheit or 100 degrees Celsius. Generally if a substance is solid or liquid it means that the temperature of its surroundings has not reached its boiling point. Technically the boiling point of any substance is the temperature at which both the liquid and vapor stages of that substance exist in equilibrium. So the temperature at which a heated liquid turns to vapor is the same temperature at which the cooled vapor form of that substance condenses to liquid.

Some volatile liquids, like ether, continue to vaporise even at room temperature. That's not their boiling point, though.The true boiling point of a liquid at a given ambient pressure is the temperature where it keeps passing into the gaseous state at a steady rate, and the temperature does not change even if you go on applying heat, until all the liquid has evaporated. Often, vapour bubbles form under its surface and burst as they reach the surface.

The boiling point is the temperature at which the liquid and gaseous states of a substance are in equilibrium in any proportion. It is possible to convert one phase to the other without changing the temperature.

Boiling point of a substance is the temerature at which the substance changes physical state from a liquid to a gas. i.e. boiling water (liquid state) changes to gaseous state (water vapor)
