The length of solid decreases because on heating he solid it is melt and comes in a liquid state

Solids expand when heated due to their molecules moving faster. The only exception of which I know is water/ice. Like other compounds, water contracts as its temperature drops. However, after passing 4°C it expands as it continues to cool due to the alignment of the water molecules into crystals.
