The melting point of a substance is the temperature at which the substance changes its phase from solid to liquid.

The freezing point is the temperature at which the substance changes its phase from liquid to solid.

The melting point of a substance is the same as the freezing point. That is when the temperature of the substance in the liquid form is increased continuously, the temperature at which the substance turns into a solid is equal to the temperature at which the substance will turn into liquid from solid if the temperature is decreased continuously, from a higher temperature.
