The heat of fusion is the amount of heat (not temperature) required to change a solid to a liquid. It is also known as the melting point.
The heat of vaporization is the amount of heat (not temperature) required to change a liquid to it's gaseous state. It is also know as it's boiling point.
The heat of vaporization of water is greater than its heat of fusion. Specifically, the heat of vaporization is approximately 2260 joules per gram, while the heat of fusion is about 334 joules per gram. This means that it requires significantly more energy to convert water from a liquid to a gas than to change it from solid to liquid.
The heat of fusion is the energy required to change a substance from solid to liquid at its melting point, while the heat of vaporization is the energy required to change a substance from liquid to gas at its boiling point. Both values are specific to each substance and represent the amount of energy needed to break intermolecular forces during phase changes, with vaporization requiring more energy than fusion due to the additional change in state.
Molar heat of fusion: the heat (enthalpy, energy) needed to transform a solid in liquid (expressed in kJ/mol). Molar heat of vaporization: the heat (enthalpy, energy) needed to transform a liquid in gas (expressed in kJ/mol).
The heat of fusion (H fusion) is the amount of energy required to change a substance from solid to liquid at its melting point without changing its temperature. To calculate the energy required to vaporize a volume of liquid, one must first determine the mass of the liquid and then multiply it by the heat of vaporization (not fusion) of that liquid. The heat of vaporization represents the energy needed to convert the liquid into vapor at its boiling point. Therefore, while H fusion relates to melting, the correct term for vaporization calculations involves H vaporization.
When liquid molecules absorb enough heat energy, evaporation occurs.
The latent heat of evaporation
The heat of vaporization of water is greater than its heat of fusion. Specifically, the heat of vaporization is approximately 2260 joules per gram, while the heat of fusion is about 334 joules per gram. This means that it requires significantly more energy to convert water from a liquid to a gas than to change it from solid to liquid.
It is a known fact : Molar heat of sublimation = molar heat of fusion + molar heat of vaporization so, molar heat of vaporization = molar heat of sublimation - molar heat of fusion Mv = 62.3 kJ/mol - 15.3 kJ/mol Mv = 47 kJ/mol.

Latent heat is the amount of thermal energy required to change the phase of a substance. Latent heat of fusion is the amount of energy needed to change it from a solid to liquid or a liquid to solid, and the latent heat of vaporization is the thermal energy needed to change from a liquid to gas or a gas to liquid. For example, in the equation Q = mL, Lfusion (latent heat of fusion) for water is 75.5 cal/gram. Lvaporization (latent heat of vaporization) for water is 539 cal/gram. Substances have different latent heats.
The heat of fusion is the energy required to change a substance from a solid to a liquid, while the heat of vaporization is the energy needed to change a substance from a liquid to a gas. Both are types of phase changes that require specific amounts of energy to occur.
The enthalpy of fusion is the heat energy absorbed or released when a substance changes from solid to liquid at its melting point. The enthalpy of vaporization is the heat energy absorbed or released when a substance changes from liquid to gas at its boiling point.
Because the latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vaporization are very high
For forming it is Heat of (Fusion) and for melting its Heat of (Vaporization).
