Could you boil water without heat 💧 Boiling isn’t just about temperature, it’s about pressure. Lower the pressure, like at high altitudes or inside a vacuum chamber where air pressure is reduced, and water molecules can escape into gas much more easily, even at room temperature. So in the end… yes!
