What is the freezing point of water in Celsius?
Answer
0 degrees
Water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) under standard atmospheric pressure. At this temperature, liquid water transitions to solid ice as molecular motion slows and hydrogen bonds lock molecules into a crystalline structure. The freezing point is a fundamental reference point used to calibrate thermometers and understand phase transitions.
💡 Did you know?
Water's freezing point can be lowered by adding salts (salt water freezes at -2°C) through a process called freezing point depression, which is why salt is spread on icy roads.
