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.
Now, on the Fahrenheit scale, which is used mainly in the United States, the freezing point of water is 32 degrees, and boiling of water is 212 degrees. As you could tell, Celsius, the whole scale came from using freezing as 0 of regular water at standard temperature and pressure and setting 100 to be boiling.
