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.

What else can I help you with?
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.
How does glass keep heat?
Glass keeps heat by being a poor conductor of heat. This means that heat does not easily transfer through glass, allowing it to trap heat inside a space. Additionally, glass can absorb and re-radiate heat, further assisting in retaining warmth.
How does glass absorb heat?
Glass absorbs heat through a process called conduction. When sunlight hits the glass, the glass molecules absorb the energy and begin to vibrate, which causes them to heat up. The heat is then transferred through the glass, warming up the surrounding air or objects.
What does glass do with heat?
Glass is a poor conductor of heat, meaning it does not easily transfer heat energy. It can reflect some heat, absorb some, and transmit some, depending on the type of glass and its thickness. When heated, glass expands, which can sometimes lead to cracking if the temperature change is too sudden or extreme.
How effective is glass at insulating heat?
Glass is not a good insulator of heat because it allows heat to pass through it easily. This means that glass does not trap heat well and is not effective at keeping a space warm.
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.
Why were plastic made?
easy to make and strong unlike glass witch can be broken or explodes in heat
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.
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!
Is breaking glass endothermic or exothermic?
i think it is nothing
How can broken glass cause a fire?
Broken glass can cause a fire by acting as a lens, focusing sunlight onto flammable materials. When sunlight passes through the curved or sharp edges of the glass, it can create intense heat at a specific point, potentially igniting nearby combustible items like paper, dry grass, or fabric. Additionally, if broken glass is found near electrical equipment or wiring, it can lead to shorts or sparks, further increasing the risk of fire.
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.
How does glass keep heat?

How is car glass and house glass the same?
They are essentially made out of the same raw ingredients. HOWEVER - car glass is in effect a 'sandwich' of two thin sheets of glass with an adhesive-coated polythene sheet heat-sealed between them. This not only strengthens the windscreen, but prevents the glass shattering, as the shards of broken glass are mostly held in place by the polythene.
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.
How does glass absorb heat?
