Plastic is less dense than glass, so normally a plastic cup is considerably lighter than a glass cup, although in theory a very small glass cup could weigh less than a very large plastic cup.

Will heat travel faster through a glass cup or a plastic cup?
It depends on the kind of plastic but mostly (I'd think) plastic is a better insulator for heat transport
How does the density differ between a glass and a plastic cup that have almost exactly the same volume?
Higher molecular interaction force contribute to higher density. In additional, higher molecular weight give tendency to higher density at same intermolecular force. Even plastic had different density, some plastic is lighter than water but some can be twice heavy, PVC for example.
Is kullhar better than plastic cup?

What type of cup will keep a drink the cold the longest time?
Experiments were actually recently conducted on this specific subject. The verdict was that the foam cup was the best, followed by plastic, then the mug and a glass cup.
Is a plastic bottle a good insulator?
Yes A2: Yes, If it's a Foam cup. Not if it's simply a solid plastic cup.
Can plastic cup be replaced by glass beaker in determination of heat of solution?
yes.but plastic cup is a better good insulator than glass beaker.
What is the difference between a glass and cup?
Cup A cup is usually smaller than a glass. It is also used for liquid measurements. Also cups are often made of plastic or ceramic. Glass A glass is usually taller than a cup. Rather than using plastic or ceramic, it uses glass. Also a kind of transparent, hard, yet easily breakable substance.
Which cup can hold heat better a plastic cup a coffee cup or a glass cup?
A glass cup will conduct heat away quickly - a plastic cup would hold heat the best.
Should water be served in plastic bottle glass or plastic cup?
Glass would be healthier
What do you call for a glass made of glass?
You ask for a glass, and if they hand you a plastic cup you usually do not drink out of it.
Would a plastic cup keep the water hot longer than a metal cup?
A plastic cup holds more heat because plastic can't take out heat. Glass conducts heat away.
Does cold water stay colder in a plastic cup or a foam cup?
You're talking about holding the temperature of the water, right? As far as containing the liquid, they're about equal...but a styrofoam or double-wall plastic cup would hold temp better than a glass cup which would work better than a single-wall plastic cup.
Will heat travel faster through a glass cup or a plastic cup?
It depends on the kind of plastic but mostly (I'd think) plastic is a better insulator for heat transport
How much does a glass cup hold?
It depends on the size of the cup. What a cup is made of says nothing about its capacity. For instance, a one-cup measuring cup holds one cup, whether it is made of metal, plastic, or glass.
How does the density differ between a glass and a plastic cup that have almost exactly the same volume?
Higher molecular interaction force contribute to higher density. In additional, higher molecular weight give tendency to higher density at same intermolecular force. Even plastic had different density, some plastic is lighter than water but some can be twice heavy, PVC for example.
Another example of transparent?
Window, Plastic, Glasses/Spectacles, and a glass cup
What is less dense glass or water?
Generally, glass is more dense than water. (There are some types of glass which are less dense.) You can demonstrate this by gently placing a glass full of water in the sink or tub; the glass will sink, indicating that glass is more dense than water. If the glass were to float, we would know that the glass were less dense. Try this with plastic cup; the plastic is normally less dense, and will float.
