yes it is! if you heat it up it makes glass!

Glasses and sands are not identical materials. But some glasses may contain silicon dioxide. Also not all sands are chemically equivalent.
Sand is primarily made up of silicon dioxide, which has the chemical formula SiO2. Glass is made by melting sand, so it also contains silicon dioxide at its core, hence the same chemical symbol for both.
This is the same sand as common beach sand.
Not all sand turns into glass, but silica sand, which is primarily composed of silicon dioxide, can be melted and formed into glass when heated to high temperatures. This process is typically achieved in industrial settings, such as glass manufacturing. Other types of sand, composed of different minerals, do not produce glass when melted. Therefore, while silica sand can be transformed into glass, not all sand has the same properties or potential for glass formation.
Kinda-sorta. Finely crushed glass will behave pretty much like sand. You won't get the same color though.

The country the glass is being made in. and as close to the glass factory as is practical. White sand is pretty much all the same whether it comes from Italy, Ireland or Illinois.

yes glass is made out of sand
Perhaps in tiny amounts, but unintentionally. More likely, you would find sand (which is the same chemically as glass).
sand makes glass and glass make sand its a reverse psychology :)
