Best Answer

The sugar does not melt. It dissolves.

The rate of dissolution can be increased by agitation (i.e. stirring or shaking) because it moves the sugar to less concentrated parts of the water. When less sugar is already dissolved, further sugar will dissolve quicker; if left alone, the sugar must gradually diffuse, and this can take a relatively long time.
