It's a device (structure) that allows heat to get in freely, but holds it in so that the heat builds up. Classically it is a building with walls and roof made of glass: the sunlight gets in but it's hard for the heat to get out.

Can you heat water a magnifying glass with an artificial light source instead of the sun?
Sure. But the magnifying glass can't squeeze any more heat out of your light sourcethan what the source has without the magnifying glass.The only thing the magnifying glass does is take all of the light ... and maybe heat ? ...that hits the magnifying glass and focus it down to a very small area. It has no moreheat or light to work with than what enters the glass.The most efficient way to heat water with a light bulb is to shine the bulb straight upand hang the pot over it.
How do energy efficient windows work?
The energy efficient windows work using multiple layers of glass instead of just one, which was common for the beginning of the 1980s. Since conduction is one of the main reasons for heat loss, with multiple glass layers, this effect is reduced to the minimum.
How many times more energy must be transferred into a kilogram of glass than a kilogram of silver to raise their temperatures by the same amount?
For window glass, about 3.5 times as much. The specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass required to raise the temperature by one degree Celsius.The specific heat of glass is 0.20 (kcal/kg °C)The specific heat of silver is 0.05580.2/0.0558=3.58423
