Yes and no, it mostly depends on the type of glass. Generally I'd say no for the most part; considering when you get transistion lenses (reactive to UV) they don't tend to turn even the slightest black when inside a car or in a building; even when directly exposed to light. But I don't doubt there are certain types of glass (or glass thicknesses) that would permit the rays to pass through.

Where is 'inside a corner of a building' during an earthquake?
I would say like in the corner of any room in the building that doesn't have any windows inside of it.
What is the STC rating of windows in this building?
The Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of the windows in this building is a measure of how well they reduce sound transmission from outside to inside.
How can thermal insulation for windows help to improve energy efficiency in a building?
Thermal insulation for windows helps to improve energy efficiency in a building by reducing heat transfer between the inside and outside. This means that in cold weather, less heat escapes through the windows, and in hot weather, less heat enters the building. As a result, the building requires less heating and cooling, leading to lower energy consumption and cost.
Can your eyes be exposed to uv rays inside of a building through glass?
Yes, UV rays can still penetrate through glass windows. While most glass windows block a significant amount of UVB rays, they may not fully block UVA rays, which can contribute to skin aging and skin cancer. It is still important to protect your eyes and skin from UV exposure indoors.
How is heat lost from inside a house through windows?
By conduction, convection and radiation.

Why are people in a building threatened by a tornado told to open their windows to minimize damage?
This is based on the old and now disproven idea that the low pressure inside a tornado caused buildings to explode. The idea holds that as a tornado passes over, the pressure outside drops radily, while pressure remains high inside the building, and that opening windows would relieve this pressure difference. This idea has been disproven, and officials now advise against opening windows during a tornado. There are several reasons for this. First, the pressure drop inside a tornado is not large enough to inflict any significant damage on a stroncutre. Second, buildings are not airtight, and pressure will equalize fairly quickly. If a tornado is strong enough to cause significant damage, the windows will likely break anyway Tornadoes cause damage through wind and debris, not through pressure drop. It has actually been shown that if the tornado is weak enough that windows remain intact, or if the worst of the tornado misses, opening windows allows wind to enter the building and cause damage on the inside. Additionally, opening windows wastes precious time that should be spent getting to a safe place.
Can auto window tint be applied to the outside of car window?
no because it would be exposed to the elements, auto window film is intended to be placed on the inside of your vehicles windows.
How many windows are in the John Hancock building in Boston?
The John Hancock Tower in Boston has a total of 10,344 windows. This iconic skyscraper, completed in 1976, is known for its reflective glass facade and striking design. The large number of windows contributes to its distinctive appearance and allows for ample natural light inside the building.
What is the safest thing to do if an earthquake begins while you are inside a building?
Drop to the ground, take cover under a sturdy piece of furniture, and hold on until the shaking stops. Avoid doorways and windows, and stay inside until it is safe to exit the building.
What are the entry points for mice in a building?
Entry points for mice in a building can include gaps in walls, doors, windows, vents, and utility lines. Mice can squeeze through very small openings, as small as a dime, so it's important to seal any potential entry points to prevent them from getting inside.
