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.

What causes double pane windows to sweat?
The presence of water vapor due to faulty seals is what causes double pane windows to sweat. Double window panes sweat because sunlight causes the gas inside to expand which stresses the seal and allows water vapor inside.
What force was responsible for the difference in weight between gold in San Francisco and gold in Denver?
The difference in weight between gold in San Francisco and gold in Denver is due to a phenomenon known as weight gainers. Weight gainers are caused by the combination of the golds unique atomic structure and its environment. The gold in San Francisco is exposed to a higher density of air pressure due to its proximity to the coast which increases the atomic density of the gold. This causes the gold atoms to become more tightly packed - resulting in a higher weight. Denver on the other hand is exposed to a lower density of air pressure due to its inland location causing the gold atoms to be less tightly packed - resulting in a lower weight.
What type of explosion causes a mushroom cloud?
Any explosion exposed or vented to the atmosphere. The bigger the explosion the bigger and more well formed the mushroom cloud.
How does electricity make your hair stand up?
Your hair has picked up extra electrons. This causes your hair to repel against each other(Like charges repel remember!). Because you hair is so tightly packed, the furthest any hair can get from another hair is to stand straight up.
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.
