Is it true that the viscosity of a glass is a function of its temperature. Yes or No?

Thanks

Yes every materials viscosity is a function of temperature. In general higher temperature then lower viscosity and it decreases a lot above its glass transition temperature. ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_transitionn
