melting point
Both of these people are participating in a board sport, but the man on the left is snowboarding in Norway while the woman on the right is sandboarding in Dubai. Snow and sand are both kinds of matter, but they have different properties. What are some ways snow and sand differ? One difference is the temperature at which they melt. Snow melts at 0C, whereas sand melts at about 1600C! The temperature at which something melts is its melting point. Melting point is just one of many physical properties of matter.
