Yes, glass can begin to soften and melt at temperatures around 1400 degrees Celsius, depending on its composition. Different types of glass have varying melting points, but many common glass formulations, such as soda-lime glass, start to become malleable at this temperature. At 1400 degrees Celsius, glass can be shaped and formed, making it suitable for various glassworking processes.
The temperature at which glass solidifies can vary depending on the type of glass. Generally, the solidification temperature of most types of glass ranges from about 1,000 to 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit (538 to 816 degrees Celsius).
The melting point of glass is at 2600-2900 degrees F (1425-1600 degrees C) depending on its composition.
Sand can be turned into glass when heated to a temperature of around 1700-2000 degrees Celsius (3090-3630 degrees Fahrenheit). This high temperature melts the silica in the sand, allowing it to fuse together and form glass.
The environment within the room would go from a temperature that is very comfortable to live in to a temperature that would boil a glass of water that was situated in the same room. For example in the winter time I keep my home temperature at 20 degrees Celsius.
YES! Because when you heat the mixture of water and glass beads up at boiling temperature, the water will evaporate and leave the glass beads behind. =-)

"Cold" could mean anything. To me, cold might be 10 degrees Celsius, while someone else sees "cold" as 1 degree Celsius. In science, nothing is ever described as cold, because a questions that always arise are "how cold? 20 degrees Celsius? 0 degrees Celsius? -100 degrees Celsius?"
The glass of water at 10 degrees Celsius will cool faster because it is closer in temperature to the refrigerator's inside temperature of 7 degrees Celsius compared to the glass of water at 18 degrees Celsius.

Soda lime glass is made by melting the component ingredients in a glass furnace. The temperatures in the furnace can reach 1675 degrees Celsius.
The glass transition temperature of PET plastic is typically around 70-80 degrees Celsius. This is the temperature at which the material transitions from a glassy, rigid state to a rubbery, more flexible state.
Soda lime glass softens at around 726 degrees Celsius, which is roughly 1340 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the point where glass will begin to sag under its own weight.
Water evaporate faster in a wide glass than in a narrower glass.
To turn sand into glass, it needs to be heated to around 1700 degrees Celsius (3090 degrees Fahrenheit). This high temperature melts the sand and fuses the silica together, creating glass. The molten glass can then be shaped and cooled to harden into the desired form.
