The temperature of a solid can vary depending on its specific properties and composition. Solids generally have a range of melting points where they transition from a solid to a liquid state. The temperature of a solid can be affected by factors such as pressure and the presence of impurities.
The melting temperature for solids depends on the material of the solid. For example, ice melts at a much lower temperature than iron.

Solids have a fixed volume or shape at room temperature or pressure.
Heat energy in solids can cause the particles within the solid to vibrate more vigorously, increasing their kinetic energy. This can lead to an increase in the temperature of the solid, expansion of the solid, and in some cases, a change in its physical state from solid to liquid.
Temperature is a measure of thermodynamic activity: it does not DO anything!
Iodine and astatine are solids at room temperature.
In many different ways, and example of one is the solubility of solids and gasses. For example when the temperature is lowered a gas will become more soluble and a solid less so. When it is increased the process will go the other way around.
No all solids do not expand at same rate because some solid expand at less temperature and some solids expand at less temperature. For example if we take iron and plastic iron expands at high temperature and plastic melt at less temperature(at candle light also).
Pressure can affect the physical properties of gases, liquids, and solids. For gases, pressure influences volume and temperature through the ideal gas law. In liquids, pressure can impact density and boiling point. In solids, pressure can cause compression or expansion, altering the arrangement of atoms and thus changing the material's properties.
All solids can dissolve, it just depends on the temperature and solution to which it will be dissolved in.
