The melting point is the temperature at which solids change to a liquid. The temperature at which liquid changes to solid is called the freezing point.
Example: Ice cubes when taken out from the freezer and placed at room temperature, it changes into a liquid. So here the ice cube melts to form water.This is an example of melting.
