Air is transparent as it is formed from a mixture of colourless gases. Air is not transparent when water vapour (forming fog or mist) forms a translucent surface that we can't see through very far.
The transparency of air is a result of our species evolving to see wavelengths of light that pass through air without being absorbed by the components of the gas. There are wavelengths of light that are absorbed by various gases.
It is because all the gases that make up air are colourless.
If a material (in this case air) is transparent, it means there are no electrons which can be excited by an amount corresponding to the energy in the photons (light particles).
Transparent
You cannot see air. Light passes through it.

The words lamp post are not typically associated with something that is transparent as a person can physical touch it and see it. Transparent things are those like glass, water, and even the air.
Air is transparent. Therefore the fundamental forming medium of a tornado will be invisible (transparent) it is only when the tornado incorporates water droplets (form the forming cloud) or debris form the ground that it becomes visible / opaque.
Transparent
air
yes
it means cloudy and smoky
Air, glass.
Yes and No. When Ice is filled with Air it becomes Transclucent, when Ice melts, slowly the Air reduces and it becomes Transparent.
Air is a transparent medium, because you can see through it fully. Opaque mediums are those that you cannot see through at all.
You cannot see air. Light passes through it.
You cannot see air. Light passes through it.
Two examples if transparent are glass and plastic sometimes (transparent=see through)
- clear glass - air - water
