The boiling point of oil is higher than water and absorbs more heat .When hot oil is poured in a glass container the heat is conducted through the cold glass which expands and breaks while in hot water the heat energy absorbed is less and the glass heat is dissipated slowly to avoid sudden expansion.

FranHot oil can break glass due to its higher thermal expansion coefficient compared to hot water. When hot oil comes into contact with cool glass, it rapidly heats the glass, causing uneven expansion and potential stress points that can lead to cracking or shattering. On the other hand, hot water has a lower thermal expansion coefficient than oil, which means it is less likely to cause such rapid and extreme expansion in the glass.
Very cheap or extremely thin glass can, yes - that's why modern heatproof glass was developed.
Any glassware designed for kitchen use is safe from breakage if hot liquids are poured into it, but any glass might break if it becomes very hot, and then is suddenly plunged into cold water.
Glass cracks because of the temperature difference between the inner and outer layer, glass is a poor conductor, so the inner layer expands faster than the outer layer, this stress is what causes the crack, so the thicker a glass is, the longer it takes for the heat to transfer to the outer layer, so the more likely it is to crack.

What happens when a drop of oil is stirred into a glass of water?
The oil will initially float on the surface of the water due to differences in density. Over time, the oil droplet may break into smaller droplets due to agitation, eventually dispersing throughout the water. However, oil and water do not mix because they are immiscible, so the oil droplets will not dissolve in the water.
What happens when water spills in hot oil?
when water spills in hot oil, it makes a strange bubbly sound as the water is sinking to the bottom. Nothing bad happens. Unless of course the oil is very hot (over a 100C ), in which case the drop of water as its sinking in the oil almost instantly turns to steam, it as it turns to steam it also rapidly expands and can thus end up Spattering hot oil everywhere. Thus it is not recommended when cooking that you add water to very hot oil.
Which substances is soluble in water sand sugar oil glass?
Well- sand drops to the bottom, so insoluble. Sugar dissolves in water- warm water dissolves it quicker (coffee, tea), oil sits in layer on the top so does not dissolve. Glass- well luckily glass is insoluble in water so coke and stuff like that can be contained in glass bottles. A purist who measures solubility in atoms or molecules per litre would argue that that all of the insoluble substances dissolve too some extent.
A plastic disks density is less than water but greater than oil if you put all three together in a glass container where would you see the plastic disk?
The plastic disk would float on top of the water but sink below the layer of oil in the glass container. This is because the density of the plastic disk is in between that of water and oil.
Can you get gum out of your hair with hot water?
Using hot water may soften the gum, making it easier to remove. However, it may not be the most effective method. It's better to use an oil-based product, such as peanut butter or coconut oil, to help break down the gum and make it easier to comb out.
