To soften butter without melting it, you can leave it at room temperature for about 30 minutes or gently pound it with a rolling pin.
Because the butter goes from being a solid to a liquid as it changes temperature.
Slightly above room temperature.
To soften frozen butter without melting it, you can grate it using a cheese grater or leave it at room temperature for some time until it becomes softer.
Melting is a physical change; but above a temperature the thermal decomposition of butter begin - this is a chemical change.
Ice melting is the phase change of solid ice into liquid water due to an increase in temperature, whereas chocolate melting is the phase change of solid chocolate into liquid chocolate also due to an increase in temperature. The main difference is that ice melting is a pure substance changing phases, while chocolate melting involves a mixture of ingredients such as cocoa butter, sugar, and milk solids.
physical. All you're doing is changing the temperature of it, not changing what it is.

Melting of butter is a physical change, a change of phase; but the brown color, at high temperature, is an indication of thermal decomposition - this ia a chemical change (change of composition).
Melting of butter is a physical change.
To quickly bring butter to room temperature, you can cut it into small pieces or grate it, then leave it out at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Alternatively, you can microwave it in short intervals, checking frequently to avoid melting.
Butter is made up of a combination of fats, water, and milk proteins. When heated, the water in the butter starts to evaporate, causing the butter to separate into its components. The fats and proteins have different melting points, so they do not all melt at the same temperature, leading to the butter not melting uniformly.
