Any water present on a planet orbiting here can remain liquid, given the right atmospheric pressure. On planets orbiting close to their respective suns, surface water evaporates into space.
As the hot steam cools and condenses to water, a vacuum is created inside the can and atmospheric pressure will crush it. 250 ml water to a 5 gallon can 20 min to boil, 1 or 2 min to collapse.
Air molecules colliding with a surface cause atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure at sea level is about 101,000 Pa (101 kPa) but just 27,000 Pa (27 kPa) at the cruising altitude of a ...
