Falling Into a World of Liquid Nitrogen | 4K resolution | MilkyQuest At 1 atmosphere, liquid nitrogen boils at -196 °C. It could never survive a -166 °C surface. But the atmosphere here weighs 21.46 atmospheres, and that pressure pushes nitrogen's boiling point up to roughly -157 °C. The surface temperature sits just below that line. In other words: the sheer weight of the air is what holds these lakes together. Remove the atmosphere, and the entire surface flashes into vapor within minutes. Water is not a liquid on this world. It is bedrock — harder than granite. Nitrogen, the gas that makes up 78% of the air you are breathing right now, is what runs downhill here and pools in the basins. ⚠️ Disclaimer: This video is created for educational and entertainment purposes.
