The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The boiling point of a liquid varies depending upon the surrounding environmental pressure.
- A liquid in a partial vacuum, i.e., under a lower pressure, has a lower boiling point than when that liquid is at atmospheric pressure.
- Because of this, water boils at 100 °C, rounded from scientific precision of 99.97 °C, under standard pressure at sea level, but at 93.4 °C at 1,905 metres altitude.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Boiling point article was read about 140,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 64 and blocks with 50: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
