When heat is applied to a solid, its temperature rises until it reaches the melting point of the substance. As the heat application continues, the temperature remains constant at the melting point as all of the heat is consumed in changing the state of the substance from solid to liquid. It is only after the conversion to liquid is complete that the temperature of the substance again starts to rise as long as heat is still being applied.
The temperature at which a pure solid changes to a liquid is the substance's melting point.
The temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid is the melting point.
The temperature at which a pure solid changes to a liquid is the substance's melting point.
The freezing point is when a liquid changes into a solid.
It is the melting point of the substance.

A substance changes from a solid to a liquid at the substance's melting point. This is a different temperature for every substance. For example, water (ice) melts at 0oC, whereas gold melts at 1,064oC.
When a substance changes from liquid to solid is called freezing.
