Define transparent ,translucent ,opaque materials?

A transparent material is a material that

allows you to see right through it.

For example, glass is usually a transparent material.

A translucent material is a material that allows

you to see light, but it's distorted.

For example, tracing paper is a translucent material.

If a material is opaque, it blocks light from going through them.

plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food. plants use the raw materials of water, nutrients they absorb from soil, and carbon dioxide to make sugars the plant can use. energy from the sun and chlorophyll are also needed.

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
