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.

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).
