glass is generally considered a solid since it retains its shape over most surface ambient temperatures. It is quite durable in it's 'solid' state. It generally takes a concentrated application of heat to bring to a 'viscous' state! I have also heard that some scientists classify glass as a liquid.

In what way are a brick water in a glass and air in a balloon alike?
The brick, the water in a glass and the air in a balloon represent the three "basic" states of matter - solid, liquid and gas.
What is one way a liquid can change to a solid?
freeze it
How do you know when something is a solid?
One way is to touch it,if it does not change shape(other then clay) it could be a solid... Hope I helped:-)
What is one way to tell that a solid has formed a solution with water?
If the solid disappears or gets smaller, then it has formed a solution with the water.
Is glass a real solid or liquid?
Glass is a SolidAn Amorphous Solid?1. Glass is an amorphous solid. Glass can flow and move over low periods of time, but it is considered a solid.2. Actually Glass is not amorphous and it most certainly doesn't flow over long periods of time.Many people believe this myth, but it is simply not true.Many people use the "glass is thicker at the bottom of stained glass windows in churches' argument to say that glass does flow.The simple reason why they are thicker at the bottom is because they were made that way for a stronger structure.Think about all the glass vases and ornaments that the Egyptians made; they have not deformed in the slightest.
What is one way humans use a solid?
They usually use solids to hold stuff, break stuff, and change the way they look. For example, a glass cup, a hammer, or sandpaper.
In what way are a brick water in a glass and air in a balloon alike?
The brick, the water in a glass and the air in a balloon represent the three "basic" states of matter - solid, liquid and gas.
Is there a way to fix a crack in a glass globe?
One way to fix a crack in a glass globe is to bring it to a glass blower. It may be fixable that way. However if the crack is too big or deep, it may be better to simply purchase a new one.
How does a koala resemble a kangaroo?
Koalas do not resemble kangaroos. They are both marsupials, but they do not resemble each other in any other way, apart from shared characteristics of marsupials.
What is one way a liquid can change to a solid?
freeze it
Is glass a liquid?
AnswerNo. Or, more accurately, it doesn't really fit into either the "liquid" or "solid" categories.The arguments that glass is a liquid come primarily from thermodynamics. Glass does not exhibit a sharp melting point; rather, it softens over a range of temperatures. Also, it doesn't show a nice sharp thermodynamic transition as it cools from the molten state.Some people use this to call glass a supercooled liquid or, somewhat more accurately, a viscous liquid. The problem with this is that both terms are already used to describe things that have very different properties than glass and which are clearly liquid-like in their behavior, so while in an extremely narrow sense the terms might be technically applicable, they're misleading and confusing.In any way that's meaningful to a layperson, glass is much more like a solid than like a liquid, and the modern consensus is that "amorphous solid" (or even simply "glass") is a more useful description.The strongest "glass is a liquid" arguments that don't involve fairly esoteric points of thermodynamics have been refuted: glass does not exhibit flow in old windows (it's an artifact of the manufacturing process), and while glass does deform extremely slowly under pressure, it does so in a way that's more solid-like than liquid-like.AnswerYes and No. This depends on how the words "liquid: and "solid" used. It is possible to use a definition of liquid that fits glass. One definition of "liquid" used in science refers to its ability to flow over time. But another depends on the ability of a substance to wet things - a measure of surface tension. If this is applied, glass appears to be solid. It is called, for scientific purposes, an "amorphous solid."The most usual definition of these two words is not dependant on scientific observations, but rather on personal observations. We do not see or feel glass flow, so it is normally considered solid.Summing up, an answer to the question of whether glass is solid or liquid depends on the nature of words, rather than the nature of glass.AnswerGlass is not a liquid. It is a solid at anything near "ordinary" temperatures. Glass is what is called an amorphous solid. That means glass doesn't arrange itself into a "regular" crystal lattice or crystal structure when it takes solid form. It has a somewhat robust range of plasticity, which is to say that it begins to deform and continues to do so across a "broad" temperature range before becoming liquid. There is a "problem" with glass that is due to less-than-perfect manufacturing techniques coupled with the way that older glass was installed.The way glass was made back in the day left something to be desired. Glass was poured out, and it cooled as it "ran" over the surface onto which it was poured. This lead to variations in the thickness of the glass. Couple that to the habit of the "old school" installers who put glass in with the thick side (or edge) down, and you can see where some might think that glass "melted" or "deformed" over the many decades since it was put in. Not so, as some glass was installed "incorrectly" with the thick edge up.We have seen the myth that glass was not a solid persist for a long time. But investigation by the thinking individual will reveal that glass is a solid. Use the link below to learn more as it will lead you to the Wikipedia post on glass. The scientific truth is told there, even as it was here.
What does resemble mean?
to resemble to is to like something .e.g she resemble her mum so much
What happen when light hits a two way glass?
When light hits a two-way glass, part of the light is reflected back in the directionit came from, while part of it goes one way, part of it goes the other way, and therest of it is absorbed by the glass and goes nowhere.
What does glass break from?
I'm assuming dose means does, but one way to break glass is to drop it or hit it with something hard
Where can you get the center window for your bay window?
If you know who made it the factory should be able to supply. If it is stationary and double paned then most glass companies should be able to supply a new glass. Should be able to install new glass in old window even if the frame in solid around glass. There is always a way to replace any window glass.
What is one way to change water from a liquid to solid?
decrease the temperature
What is the definition of physical state?
One way matter exists, such as solid, liquid, or gas.
