Glass is an amorphous solid, which is like a solid in some ways and like a liquid in others. (The line between "amorphous solid" and "high-viscosity liquid" is a difficult one to draw sometimes; it's usually done on the basis of what the material acts most like on a humanly-relevant timescale.)
Some people call glass a supercooled liquid. Most materials scientists tend to call these people "idiots."
solid
To contain small quantities of solid materials, for example for weighting, for a drop test, etc.
No, "glass" is not a homophone. Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings. "Glass" is a singular noun that refers to a transparent material, while "glass" as a verb refers to the act of looking at something through a glass container.
The possessive form for the plural noun glasses is glasses'.Example: Her glasses' frame broke when she dropped them.
Glasses are solids. They're, specifically, amorphous solids. What makes them different from regular solids is that they're not regular, they're amorphous. Which is right there in the name.
Both ways can be correct depending on the context. "These are your glasses" is commonly used when the glasses are physically present ('these' indicates something close by), while "This is your glasses" can be used when referring to the concept of glasses or when pointing to the glasses as a singular object (singular 'this').
Metallic glasses are prepared by rapid cooling (quenching) a molten metal alloy to prevent the atoms from forming an ordered crystalline structure. This process traps the atoms in a disordered arrangement, creating an amorphous solid with unique properties such as high strength and low corrosion.

Three out of the seven glasses are not full, so the fraction of glasses that are not full is 3/7.
I'm monochromatic colorblind and IMAX and RealD don't work for me. The old glasses, with the solid red and solid blue lenses, worked okay. It's probably different for people with less severe cases.
Chocolate melting is related to an amorphous solid because chocolate has a disordered atomic arrangement, similar to that of an amorphous solid. Upon heating, the atoms in chocolate move more freely and lose their ordered structure, leading to the transformation from a solid to a liquid state.
