The glass is exposed to the colder air outside, and will be much colder than the ambient temperature of the house...
The amount of moisture air can hold reduces with temperature... Now the air in the house is warmer than that outside.. Also there are people in the house, who are breathing out lot of air laden with moisture..
Now, when this warmer air with moisture comes in contact with the window glass which has been cooled from outside, the air cools down and loses its ability to hold all that moisture..
So this moisture condenses, and forms droplets on the glass...

This is condensation caused by the surface of the glass being lower than the ambient temperature of the surrounding air. Reduce it by improving ventilation, avoiding drying clothes indoors, using an extractor fan when cookin, etc.
If you get it between the panes of a double-glazed window, it means the seal has failed, and you need expert help.

condensation. moisture in the air inside hits the cold glass of the window and it condenses so the water is released.

Something is causing condensation (moisture) in the air.

You may have a bad heat exchanger on your furnace. You should buy a carbon dioxide detector. Even if you don't need it it is good to have. You can have your gas company come in and check your furnace too.
