When a solid melts, it is due to an increase in thermal energy to the temperature at which it melts.
When matter changes state, thermal energy is either absorbed or released. For example, when a solid melts to become a liquid, thermal energy is added to break the bonds holding the solid structure together. On the other hand, when a gas condenses to become a liquid, thermal energy is released as the gas molecules slow down and come closer together.
Adding heat will do one of the following, or both: * The temperature of the substance increases. The individual particles move faster; their kinetic energy increases. * The substance changes its state (for example, when ice melts, it changes from solid to liquid). The potential energy of the particles increases.
Four forms of energy related to change in matter are thermal (heat) energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy, and electrical energy. These forms of energy can cause physical or chemical changes in matter by providing the necessary energy for these changes to occur.
Changes in the states of matter occur through processes like melting, freezing, condensation, vaporization, and sublimation. These changes involve the rearrangement of particles at the molecular level due to changes in temperature or pressure. During these transitions, energy is either absorbed or released.
When matter melts (changes from a solid to a liquid state), its molecules move faster, meaning they are gaining energy.
Matter changes state via the addition or subtraction of thermal energy. For instance, Ice melts into water, water boils into steam.
It melts. Energy is absorbed.

Ghee melts on heating because when ghee is cold it is solid and the kinetic energy is less so the particles are situated closer and when heated the particles of matter spread and the interrmollecular force increases as the intermollecular force is more in liquids the ghee changes to liquid or melts.
As ice melts, it changes from a solid to a liquid state. During evaporation, water changes from liquid to gas. Both of these processes involve breaking intermolecular forces and absorbing energy, leading to a phase transition.
Energy can be released when matter changes. For example when something burns, such as natural gas (methane) combining with oxygen from the air, such as happens in a gas stove, to form carbon dioxide and water and release lots of energy. If you use a gas stove, this is how you cook. Energy can be absorbed when matter changes. For example, when ice in your glass absorbs heat from the room and melts, a phase change from ice to water, energy is absorbed. Matter can change without either net absorption or net release of energy, but some energy may be borrowed to enable the change and then returned after the change.

Forms of energy related to changes in matter may include kinetic, potential, chemical, electromagnetic, electrical, and thermal energy.
Then it will either get hotter, or its phase will change (as when ice melts).

Solid matter turns into a liquid when it melts.
