Air in motion has a lower pressure than stationary air. Thus the pressure outside the window is lower than inside and the window will be blown outwards.

What causes condensation on the inside of windows and how do you fix it?

If the window is double or treble glazed and the condensation is between the panes, then the glass (sealed unit) needs replaced. If the condensation is on the inside surface of the glass (i.e. you can wipe it with your hands), then the problem is inside the house. IT IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH YOUR WINDOW /S. Installing double glazing does help with this problem. However, it is a myth that windows can or should solve the issue. It is an issue of water inside the building. Common causes can be drying washing on radiators, not ventilating bathrooms and kitchens correctly or water ingress elsewhere in the building.

What causes a car with tightly closed windows occasionally have a window blow out or crack when exposed to the sun on a hot day?

The molecules that make up the air inside the car get heated up by the sun causing them to move faster and grow farther apart building up the air pressure inside the car. After a while the pressure becomes so great that the window cracks, then brakes, releasing the built up pressure.
