Boiling Point of Methane (CH4)

Most of us are familiarly with Methane (CH4) as natural gas.  Because the boiling point of methane is so low it must be cooled for it to become a liquid and cooled even more to become solid.  

Methane boils as -161.5 degrees Celsius. In order for Methane to be a liquid the temperature much be at or below -161.6 C.  One the temperature is lowered to -182.5 C the Methane will freeze and become a solid.

Note that for the boiling point of Methane we are talking about Standard Pressure or 1 atm. Changing the pressure will also lead to changes in the boiling point.
