| Dec 29, 2017 at 21:29 | comment | added | uhoh | @JakeBlocker If nothing happens in a few days, I'd planned on making the edits myself. This way the user gets a second chance to collect reputation, and to see what a good SE answer looks like. Suggesting I'm not kind is way off the mark! (oh, another example). | |
| Dec 29, 2017 at 21:27 | comment | added | uhoh | @JakeBlocker there is a difference between questions and answers, and between a stackexchange answer and answers on other fora (ok, forums). I think in most SE sites, questions are allowed a lot more latitude than answers. Answers are SE's deliverable, it's raison d'être, so they get a far higher level of scrutiny and polish than questions. I've helped edit both questions and answers to improve them many times. In this case, I've left detailed hits so that the user has an opportunity to learn a bit about phase changes. If they are going to be answering questions here it's good to learn! | |
| Dec 29, 2017 at 21:14 | comment | added | uhoh | @JakeBlocker Of course my comment is quite kind, and helpful as well! I have not down voted, nor flagged this answer, and I've left a substantial comment with some depth, explaining several things that can be done to improve the answer. Here is an example of an approach which would not be classified as kind. Read that, then read my comment again. There is quite a difference! Helping people improve their answers is kind to both new users, the OP, and future readers. | |

| Dec 28, 2017 at 10:16 | comment | added | uhoh | This is on its way to being a good answer, but there are some loose ends. "...the gas jets are very visible both on (the) ground and..." still needs an answer. Also, since no specific altitude was named in the question, you'll need to name the altitude that "at that altitude" refers to. Can you also add (or at least check) a nitrogen phase diagram to explain why you think it is the pressure that is determining if the liquid boils or not? | |
