Temperature affects glass like it does anything else. If the temperature of glass gets high enough, it will melt. There is not a typical melting point for glass, as it depends on the composition.

Why does hot glass crack when placed under hot water?
Hot glass is less likely to crack than cold glass. It's down to the temperature difference. If the glass is colder than the water, its outside heats up, and expands. Glass is a poor conductor of heat so the inside doesn't get hot and expand nearly as quickly. This sets up strains in the glass, and because it's brittle, it cracks. .Hot glass may still have a sufficiently different temperature from the water to cause the same effect
What effect does sugar and salt have on evaporation of water?
When use of 4oz - 5oz of salt, it speeds up the process of water evaporation in a glass at room temperature with sunlight.
What is the answers of TM and tg in chemistry?
Tm is temperature of melting. Tg is glass transition temperature.
Is temperature negligible effect on the solubility of Nacl?
Yes, the effect of temperature on the solubility of sodium chloride is not so important.
Joule Thomson effect is temperature dependent or not?
its temperature dependent
Does glass temperature effect a fingerprint?
Yes. The colder the surface temperature, the more clearer the fingerprint will be. The warmer the surface temperature, the less clear the fingerprint will be.
What is the effect of an insoluble solid such as glass on the boiling temperature of a liquid?
If the solid is insoluble, it will have little or no effect on the boiling point. If it is soluble, it will raise the boiling point.
What effect temperature?
effect of temperature
What is the glass transition temperature of silk?
The glass temperature transition is for glass, polymers, etc. (amorphous or semicrystalline materials), but not for leather.
Is glass toxic?
A harmful effect of glass is that when it is broken it can cut a person. Glass can also effect the environment if it is not recycled.
What is the effect of temperature on elasticity?
effect of temperature on elasticity
What has the author U S Ishiaku written?
U. S. Ishiaku has written: 'The effect of molecular weight on the glass transition temperature of poly(tetra-methylene sebacate) and the effect of the nature of the end-groupings'
Does ice melt faster in a room temperature glass or in a frozen glass?
ice melt in the room temperature
Science fair do heating and cooling effect the strength of glass?
No, heating and cooling does not effect the strength of a glass

What is an insulator you can see through?
It is not possible. You call the substance a solid if it is so at room temperature. It is not possible for a solid (at room temperature) to also be as a liquid at room temperature.
