From solid to liquid it is the 'melting point'.
From liquid to solid it is the 'freezing point'.
For a given substance both the melting point and freezing point are the same temperature. It just depends on the direction of the phase change.
e.g.
Ice to water ; 0 oC
Water to ice ; 0 oC .

The physical change of a solid to a liquid at the melting point called melting.
Melting point.
The change in state would be known as melting. Just for your information: Solid to Liquid = Melting Liquid to Gaseous = Boiling Solid to Gaseous = Sublimation Gaseous to Liquid = Condensation Liquid to Solid = Freezing Gaseous to Solid = Deposition
Melting point is the temperature at which a solid substance changes to a liquid state. It is sometimes also called the liquefaction point.
Boiling points and melting points are temperatures at which change of phase occurs to liquids andsolids. Some substances, such as water, have a TRIPLE POINT temperature at which all three phases (solid, liquid, vapor), exist simultaneously.Boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its phase changes into vapor and the melting point of a solid is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid. The solid and liquid phase of a substance exist in equilibrium at the melting point. The reverse change from liquid to solid is referred to as the freezing point. The freezing point of a substance is often determined by observing the temperature at which a solid begins to change into a liquid, which is actually the melting point, because a characteristic property of some substances is their ability to supercool.
A substance changes from a solid to a liquid at its melting point
The temperature at which a pure solid changes to a liquid is the substance's melting point.
The freezing point is when a liquid changes into a solid.
The temperature at which a pure solid changes to a liquid is the substance's melting point.
The physical change of a solid to a liquid at the melting point called melting.
No, it is the melting point. Ice changes to water when it melts, not when it boils.
