Glass is sharp due to its rigid structure, which creates a clean, brittle edge when it breaks. When glass fractures, it typically forms sharp shards because the break occurs along the lines of its molecular arrangement, resulting in pointed edges. This sharpness is further enhanced by the smooth surface of glass, which can easily cut skin or other materials upon contact.
