The term "glass" refers to a wide range of materials with varying compositions, so there is no single melting point for all types of glass. The melting point of glass depends on its composition and can vary significantly between different types of glass.

However, common soda-lime glass, which is the most common type of glass used in windows, bottles, and glassware, typically has a melting point in the range of 1400 to 1600 degrees Celsius (2552 to 2912 degrees Fahrenheit).

Other specialized glasses, such as borosilicate glass (used in laboratory glassware and some kitchenware) or tempered glass (used in car windows and smartphone screens), may have different melting points due to their unique compositions and manufacturing processes.

Keep in mind that while these temperatures represent the general range of melting points for various types of glass, the specific melting point can vary based on the additives and impurities in the glass mixture.
