The heat that is required to change 1kg of a substance from solid state at the melting to liquid state is known as Latent heat of fusion.

While a body is being converted from solid phase to liquid, You may apply somuch heat but that will not raise it's temperature.

This heat is further used to change the substance from solid to liquid, by pushing the molecules apart and creating spaces between them.

Latent heat of fusion of ice is 334 Joules per gram ( 334J/g )

Latent heat of vaporisation of water is 2,230 Joules per gram
