Glass is made up of many separate molecules, like sand. It isn’t until you add heat to all the different molecules at once.. then get them all hot enough, they melt together into glass.

Think of it like melting a bowl of m&ms in the microwave. Once the insides get hot enough, the chocolate oozes out and melts the shells.. that is the same as how glass is made.
