Yep. There is glass and windows. They haven't been cleaned though since the 60's...

Well yes, if you look at the moon you'll see the long lines of white stretching from the craters. These are glass beads sitting on the surface of the moon. They formed from vaporized back solidifying in to little globes of glass. The same way water vapor will form beads of water. The rock was vaporised by the tremendous release of energy but the impact the created the crater. And we know this because the astronauts brought them back from the moon.

Its the presence on the surface of the Moon of all the glassy particles generated by meteorite impacts that makes the Moon so reflective and hence so bright. Its the same principal that makes white lines on highways shine in car headlamps.

There are microscopic beads of glass in the regolith (which is what they call soil on the Moon). They are caused by the heat of meteor impacts. Similar beads are seen at atomic bomb test sites on Earth. Discovery of those by the Apollo astronauts finally proved that the craters on the Moon were meteor craters. Before that there were many scientists who claimed the craters were of volcanic origin.

No, there is no glass on the surface of the Moon.... just rock and craters.

It reflect the sun light to us.

There must be with all the meteor collisions.

Yes, both natural and manmade.
