I keep reading this and I know to glass is a form of destroying all life on a planet but what exactly is glassing? How would you come by glassing a planet?

From a realistic point of view, you superheat the ground until it becomes glass?

"You're a -blam!-ly confused needler!"

I am bi, deal with it,

Glassing is the covenant using their shipboard plasma weapons to bombard every square centimeter of the planets surface until all that's left is molten glass.

They act all big and tough when their on camera with their friends and their guns. But when you break into their house in the middle of the night and stick a gun barrel in their face. They cry like babies and and piss their pants.

When a planet gets bombed by so much plasma from covenant ships. That the surface becomes superheated and the surface becomes molten glass. Another repercussion would be the collapse of the atmosphere of the planet.

Not quite. While the atmosphere would be damaged, it would still be around, just highly polluted(and would likely lack trace elements). The biosphere would collapse and it would likely result in complete extinction of most, if not all, life on the planet.

I wish I was still legendary.

Pretty much melting the planet, and superheating the atmosphere if done sufficiently, which would kill remaining wildlife & plants.

But Reach wasn't completely glassed, at least, not at first.

I cant even see it anymore.
But it says Apache pilot because that's my ambition. But I have a picture of an Abrams because I couldn't find a half way decent Apache avatar.

But back on topic, if a planet ever gets glassed, it is essentially -blam!-.
