Because the butter goes from being a solid to a liquid as it changes temperature.
Slightly above room temperature.
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.

Melting of butter is a physical change.
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).
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.
Butter is a complex natural product, and is a mixture of many substances. Consequently, it does not have a definite melting point - merely a softening point. It will become liquid in the vicinity of 300C. Having been melted, it will not reform to butter again.
Yes, because butter has alot of fat and ice is water
Melting butter is an endothermic change because it requires the input of energy to break the intermolecular forces holding the solid butter together. This energy is absorbed from the surroundings, resulting in a decrease in temperature around the butter as it melts.
