jäätymispisteessään
jäätymispisteessään translates from Finnish to English as "at its freezing point." This phrase refers to the specific temperature at which a substance changes from a liquid to a solid state. For water, this temperature is 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) at standard atmospheric pressure. At its freezing point, the molecules of a liquid lose kinetic energy and arrange themselves into a fixed, crystalline structure characteristic of a solid. This process is a phase transition, and the freezing point is a fundamental physical property of a substance. Factors such as pressure can slightly alter the freezing point of a substance, though this effect is generally more pronounced for liquids that expand upon freezing, like water, compared to those that contract. The term is commonly used in everyday language when discussing weather, cooking, or any situation involving the potential for liquids to solidify.
