'''Freezing''' is a [[phase transition]] in which a [[liquid]] turns into a [[solid]] when its [[temperature]] is lowered below its [[freezing point]].<ref>{{cite web |title=freezing |website=International Dictionary of Refrigeration |url=http://dictionary.iifiir.org/search.php |access-date=2022-11-03 |archive-date=2019-10-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191001210219/http://dictionary.iifiir.org/search.php |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=freezing |url=https://terminology.ashrae.org/?letter=F |access-date=2022-11-03 |website=ASHRAE Terminology}} — via [https://www.ashrae.org/technical-resources/free-resources/ashrae-terminology https://www.ashrae.org/teches/free-resources/ashrae-terminology]</ref>

For most substances, the melting and freezing points are the same temperature; however, certain substances possess differing solid-liquid transition temperatures. For example, [[agar]] displays a [[Hysteresis#Liquid–solid-phase transitions|hysteresis]] in its [[melting point]] and freezing point. It melts at {{convert|85|°C|°F|abbr=on}} and solidifies from {{convert|32|to|40|C|F}}.<ref>{{cite web |title=All About Agar |publisher=Sciencebuddies.org |url=http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_ideas/MicroBio_Agar.shtml |access-date=2011-04-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110603081846/http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_ideas/MicroBio_Agar.shtml |archive-date=2011-06-03 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
