Why does glass stick to glass when you put a drop of water on it?
When you put a drop of water on regular glass and smoosh another regular glass on top of it and lift it up, it sticks and doesnt fall unless you tilt it.

Because the drop adheres to one glass (wets it), and it adheres to the other glass also… When you put both sheets in contact, the drop is sqashed and the space created between the origianl drop size enad the final one, results empty, it is, you create a vacuum.
