Other forms: freezing points
In science, the freezing point is the exact temperature at which a liquid becomes a solid. For water, the freezing point is 32 degrees Fahrenheit or 0 degrees Celsius.
The term freezing point describes a moment of transition, much as the melting point captures the moment when ice turns from a solid to a liquid. We're most familiar with the freezing point of water, when icicles form and rain turns to sleet, but every substance has a freezing point. Mercury, for example, has a freezing point of -38.87 degrees Celsius.
