What is melting point?

Lala asked this question-what is melting point of candle wax and the guy that gave one answer, he said there was parafin was and micro something wax, are candles made out of all those waxes?

Candle wax is not a single chemical so it does not have a single melting point. It is a mixture that melts over a range of temperatures, becoming softer and softer as more of the constituents melt as the temperature rises.
