What is a Boiling Point?

Glad you asked...
The boiling point is the temperature at which a liquid boils and turns into gas. It is the point at which the pressure of the vapor equals the pressure of the external environment.

Then again, this answer might help you...

The boiling point is the temperature when a liquid begins converting to gas. The vapor pressure increases, allowing bubbles of gas to rise to the surface and burst, releasing the gas into the atmosphere.
