Freezing Point

The freezing point is the temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a solid. For water, this occurs at 0°C (32°F). At this temperature, the molecules slow down and arrange themselves into a structured, rigid pattern, forming a solid. The freezing point can vary depending on factors like pressure or impurities, but it generally indicates the transition from liquid to solid state for a specific substance. Understanding freezing point helps in processes like preserving foods, weather forecasting, and understanding natural cycles.
