Glideslope (GS)
The equipment in an ILS that provides vertical (up/down) guidance to a landing aircraft.

Glideslope
The ideal descent path to a runway. It can be electronically defined by radio signals transmitted from the ground. An aircraft carrying a special radio receiver can detect this electronic glidepath and follow it down to the runway.

the glideslope angle, i.e. the angle of the aim point below the horizon,
the pitch attitude, i.e. the angle of the nose below the horizon, and
the angle of attack, which depends on the angle of the nose relative to the aim point.
A CDI with glideslope indicator
An instrument that indicates an aircraft's relationship to a selected course. It has a vertical needle that represents the intended course. When the needle is centered, the aircraft is on course.
Precision Approach Procedure - A standard instrument approach procedure in which an electronic glideslope/glidepath is provided (e.g., Instrument Landing System and Precision Approach Radar).

When the pilot 'arms' the system (prior to capture of either the localizer or glideslope) the flight control computers perform an extensive series of Built In Tests (BIT).
A precision instrument approach system which normally consists of the following electronic components and visual aids: (1) LOCALIZER- the component of an ILS which provides course guidance to the runway, (2) GLIDESLOPE- provides vertical guidance ...
Radio Navigation: Navigation relative to radio station, providing, for example, of relative bearing, range, lateral deviation, and glideslope. Examples include VOR, TACAN, and PLS.
When I get to 2,000 feet, I must level off and start looking for glideslope interception." After each event happens and the required action has been taken, you mentally redefine the next event and subsequent one.
When the autopilot is coupled to the glideslope, use the throttle to control airspeed. For nonprecision approaches, use the FLC (flight level change) or VS (vertical speed) options to set airspeed or rate of descent.
marker beacons (mkrs) - part of an instrument landing system using 75 MHz transmitters emitting fan-shaped or elliptical signal patterns vertically upwards, defining specific points along the glideslope.
The system utilizes two sub-systems, known as the Localizer and Glideslope. The Localizer provides guidance from left to right, and the Glideslope provides vertical guidance to provide elevation information.
outer marker - A marker beacon at or near the glideslope intercept altitude of an ILS approach. It is keyed to transmit two dashes per second on a 400 Hz tone, which is received aurally and visually by compatible airborne equipment.
The difference is that you have to decide what rate of descent, what "glideslope" will be required to touch down just beyond the runway threshold.
Ground speed: Actual speed of an airplane as measured relative to the ground.
GS: Glideslope. Vertical guidance, part of an ILS, establishing the safe glidepath to a runway. A standard ILS glideslope is 3 degrees.
