Hi Maria, For pure water, the boiling point is 100 degrees Celsius (212 Fahrenheit) at one atmosphere of pressure, and the melting point is 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) at one atmosphere of pressure. At lower pressures (at high altitudes, for example, in Denver, Colorado), the boiling point will be perhaps a couple of degrees lower.
The Celsius scale equally divides the temperature range between the melting point of ice and the boiling point of water into 100 equal parts. 0 deg Celsius is equal to 273.15 Kelvins and 32 deg Fahrenheit. The boiling point of water is 100 deg Celsius which is also 373.15 Kelvins and 212 deg Fahrenheit. The Celsius (or centigrade) scale is based on 100 increments between the freezing point of fresh water (0Â°C) and the boiling point of fresh water (100Â°C).   The Kelvin scale is based on 0Â°K being absolute zero.
