Melting is when a solid, like ice, turns into a liquid, like water. This happens when the ice gets warmer. The heat makes the tiny particles in the ice move faster and faster until they can break free from their solid shape and become a liquid. It's like the ice is waking up and stretching into water! This process is a basic concept in understanding the states of matter and how temperature affects them. 🌡️
