Temperature is just a name for "internal energy of grain / molecular / atomic / nucleon motion". Melting is changing from "grain dominant" motion to "molecular dominant" motion, as the energy released in forming the (usually) more stable grain structure is added back in.

Will bright sunshine cause snow to melt?

Yes, bright sunshine can cause snow to melt by providing heat energy to the snow, causing it to change from a solid to a liquid state. The sunlight's energy is absorbed by the snow, increasing its temperature and leading to melting.


What temperature is needed to melt a starburst?

To melt a Starburst candy, you would need to reach a temperature above its melting point. The melting point of Starburst candies is around 160-170 degrees Fahrenheit (71-77 degrees Celsius). Heating the candy beyond this temperature will cause it to melt into a liquid state.

Why don't rocks in earth's lower crust upper crust and mantle melt?

The rocks don't melt because they are under tremendous pressure. High pressure raises the temperature needed to melt something.


Does salt melt on cold mornings?

Salt doesnt melt, it is absorbed, and as for melting on cold mornings.... name something that does melt on a cold morning.----Salt will cause water ice to soften and melt unless the temperature is very cold (much colder than you're ever likely to see this side of the arctic circle). the salt itself doesn't melt; it converts the ice around it to water and dissolves in that water, allowing it to spread out and melt more ice.


What is required to cause something to melt?

Melting is a change of state of a substance caused by an increase in thermal energy, so heat is required to melt a substance.
