Why is there no friction when two glass pieces are kept together?

There is friction, but comparatively little unless the glass is very clean. Because the glass is not touching over the majority of its surface. Instead trapped air is between the two plates. This massively reduces the coefficient of effective friction. Normally, if glass is clean so that the surfaces can touch, they will "stick together" as they are so flat and friction is so high - ask anyone working with glazing glass - they try never to let two panes touch except at an edge.

What shape has the most friction and why?
You would want to maximize area of contact, and for air friction you would want to maximise the area facing the wind, or direction of motion, Either way the most friction is had from a sheet, provided it can be kept in the right orientation.

Why do lemons kept in a glass of water appear to be enlarged?
give reasons: 1) lemons kept in a glass of water appear enlarge. 2)dispersion cannot take place through a glass slab. 3)fuse wires or miniature circuit beakers are not used in a circuit containing electriccells why? 4)a stationary charge cannot produce electric field.
Where does the friction need to be small on a hinge?
The friction on a hinge needs to be small at the pivot point where the hinge rotates. This allows smooth movement and prevents the hinge from sticking or getting stuck. However, in other parts of the hinge, such as the pins or brackets, a small amount of friction may be desirable to provide stability and prevent excessive movement.
How does friction helps in rollar skates?
From this we must establish the knowledge that FRICTION OPPOSES motion, therefor the skiier will be kept at a certain speed (not super fast). so in saying that, without friction, there is no FORCE stopping you or somewhat restricting you so you would be going at a very fast speed unless you input direct stop force, otherwise there would be no common force in keeping you going at a certain speed. In the end friction will cause an object to stop if the object has lost momentum or is losing mometum, thus deceleration can be seen from this. therefore friction affects skiing by providing a OPPOSING force which will retrict the overall maximum speed a skiier can reach without the presence of applying manual force.
