In effect yes because the suns light would be reflected of it, the nights would be lighter though as SOME light would get through to the other side

I think that even the clearest glass would stop being translucent at the thickness of the Earth. The Earth is over 12,000 kilometres from one pointon the surface to the opposite point on a line going through the middle.
If you get a chance, try looking through the side of a sheet of glass. You don't see through too well.

If time stopped would everything freeze or would there be another big bang?
Time as humans know it is a concept relative to the rotation of the Earth. If the Earth stopped rotating around the Sun, than Earth as a planet would begin to die from cold and lack of sunlight.
Is breaking glass a physical change?
Yes, as it's still glass. There is no chemical/molecular change.
Which type of glass is the cheapest Soda glass Pyrex glass or Silica?
I would have to say Pyrex
What would be least conductive cooper salt water glass or mercury?
Glass
Is it possible to make a magnifying glass with colored glass?
microscope
If earth was made of glass would you still have day and night?
No
Would you build a greenhouse out of steel glass or wood?
Glass mostly. A greenhouse would need sunlight.
What can you do if there is no sunlight?
if there was no sunlight life on earth would not survive for very long.
How do clouds affect sunlight sstriking the earth?
the earth would burn if the sun strike the earth
If the Sun were to stop showering the Earth with sunlight what would be the likely outcome?
For a start, it would become dark. In the long term, no life would survive on Earth without sunlight.
Does sunlight follow earth's axis?
Sunlight does not follow the Earth's axis. The Earth's seasons are determined, in part, by the Sun's position to the Earth's axis.
If sun never reached earth?
If sunlight stopped reaching the Earth, the Earth would soon freeze solid.
What are the problems you will have to face if earth does not get sunlight?
All the energy for living things and all the energy for fossil fuel, hydroelectric and wind energy comes form the energy of sunlight. Without sunlight there would be no life and Earth would be a frozen dead planet.
Is it true sunlight a natural resource?
Absolutely true! Sunlight is the most abundant and the most powerful resource on earth. Without sunlight, plants would not grow and we would have nothing to eat. Sunlight also has the most potential as an energy resource.
If stars could shine in the day would you need the sunlight?
Stars DO shine in the daytime; in fact, they shine all the time. But the Earth's atmosphere scatters some of the sunlight, making the sky appear to be blue. That scattered sunlight is still so bright that you cannot see the dim pinpoints of starlight by comparison. And without the Sun so bright and close by, all life on Earth would quickly die out, because the atmosphere would freeze solid and there would no longer be any air.
What would happen if the earth did not rotote?
If the world did not rotate, we simply wouldn't have a day/night system. The section of Earth facing the Sun would have sunlight, while the opposite section would have no sunlight. Time would only be existent in years because time(day) in astronomical sense is based on the rotation of the Earth. The Earth's atmosphere would also respond accordingly as the section of Earth with no sunlight would experience cold temperatures, possibly similar to the Ice age. The other section would face the opposite, extremely hot temperatures due to constant exposure to the Sun
What causes the moon not to receive any sunlight?
The earth fully eclipsing the sun as viewed from the moon. Even then the moon would still receive starlight and some light will bend around the earth so it wouldn't be 100% pitch black.
