Depending on the individual room's temperature, the butter may melt if stored this way. Refridgerator-/Refridgerated or freezer-/frozen storage may prevent messes.
More informationButter is considered to be shelf stable and can be kept at room temperature. Whether it melts or not depends upon how warm the room gets. The butter will become rancid more quickly, though, if not used up in a reasonable time. It will look better and stay cleaner if a lid of some kind can be placed over it, as with either a proper butter-dish, or just a flipped/upside-down bowl over saucer it's on.I'm not sure, but I've heard of a woman that made cakes that left butter out for a week or better.
Cocoa butter is solid at room temperature.
It is kept at room temperature because the bacteria present in the curd starts reacting at room temperature.
Butter can last for days at room temperature. But it is not recommended to leave it out for that long.
depending on the quantity of butter, the gradient of temperature, the shape (geometry of the butter)
ice can melt at room temperature. Anything that is liquid at room temperature would, in its frozen state, melt at room temperature. Oils, beverages and mercury - if in a frozen state - would melt when exposed to room temperature.

No, they are not. Butter will not go liquid at room temperature, unless it's in a hot room. (In most moderate room temperatures it is still solid). Lard melts an an even higher temperature than butter. Generally it's animal fats that are solid at room temperature.
Butter contains saturated fatty acids. We can know this because saturated fatty acids are solid at room temperature, and butter is solid at room temperature.
This is butter that has been taken out of the refrigerator and allowed to come to room temperature, soften.
butter
Butter can sour when kept outside during the summer because the warm temperatures can promote microbial growth, leading to the fermentation of the milk fat in the butter. This can result in a sour or rancid taste and odor. It is best to store butter in a cool place to prevent it from spoiling.
Saturated. Saturated Fats are solid at room temperature (like butter), whereas Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature (like Vegetable oils).
