Science / Weather / Freezing Point: The process of changing a liquid to a solid. The temperature at which a liquid solidifies under any given set of conditions. Pure water under atmospheric pressure freezes at 0?°C or 32?°F. It is the opposite of fusion. In oceanography, the freezing point of water is depressed with increasing salinity.
