Liquid oxygen is a cryogenic liquid form of oxygen, used primarily in aerospace and medical applications due to its high oxygen concentration and low temperature. It is produced by cooling oxygen gas below its boiling point of -183°C, making it a powerful oxidizer for rocket fuels and a critical component in life support systems.
