What exactly is glass?

How does glass become transparent if it’s made of sand. My lil brainy can’t make sense of small rocks (my knowledge of sand) becoming transparent by any process like melting or pressure.

You melt down the sand(1700-1800C) and then you cool it down.It undergoes a transformation with different inner structure,but the sand is never quite solid,doesnt matter how much you cool it(it is a frozen liquid referred as amorphous solid)
