A glass fracture due to heat will be a jagged line not a smooth and fairly strait crack. It will happen on annealed or laminated glass especially if they are tinted.
It occur when a partial area of the glass is exposed to the sun and the rest is in the shadow creating a thermal stress.

Why does glass feel warm when you touch it?
Glass feels warm when you touch it because it absorbs and retains heat from its surroundings. When your body comes into contact with the glass, heat flows from your skin to the glass, making it feel warm.
What does glass do with heat?
Glass does not "do" anything with heat. Glass is not a (thermal) insulator though.
Is glass a good conductor or bad conductor of heat?
Glass is a poor conductor of heat.
Does glass lead heat?
Yes, glass will conduct heat, only not as well as metals.
Is glass a conductor or a insulators?
Glass is an electrical insulator. But glass more readily conducts heat.
Why were plastic made?
easy to make and strong unlike glass witch can be broken or explodes in heat
Why is pyrex not breakable?
Pyrex is made from glass that withstands high heat and temperature changes. Though not easily broken, it is not totally unbreakable. It just does not shatter when broken or break as easily as other glass.

Can you use an oven if the glass is busted?
You mean it has a hole in the front?! Then NO, all the heat will come out. Otherwise it depends if the broken glass poses a risk to the food or the oven user. Just get it fixed!
How does temperature effect glass?
Temperature affects glass like it does anything else. If the temperature of glass gets high enough, it will melt. There is not a typical melting point for glass, as it depends on the composition.
What is done to anneal glass?
The glass soaks in heat, typically about 960° F, to give the molecules a chance to settle down. The thicker the glass the longer it should anneal. Typical annealing times for 1/4" plate glass might be a few hours. Improperly annealed glass is more subject to fracture with subsequent temperature changes.
How is light important for a greenhouse?
The light passes through the glass and creates heat in the house, but the heat isn't able to escape. Light (which creates heat) comes in, but heat can't leave, and so the greenhouse maintains a tropical environment.
Will a glass window attract heat and trap it?
YUPPERS! and it will trap most of it but not all 2nd Answer: Ummm . . . a glass window does not attract heat. It does not 'trap' it, either. The glass may allow heat through, or glass can heat up, itself, but then it can radiate that heat away when the air around the glass is cooler than it is. That is certainly not, "Trapping" the heat.
What can cut glass?
heat willcut glass.
Why does heat break glass?
when one material is heated it expand:because the glass is not a conductor of heat
Does glass lead heat?
Yes, glass will conduct heat, only not as well as metals.
