Well, honey, the Earth is not completely transparent, that's for sure. It's made up of layers of rock and molten material that block out light, so yeah, you could say it's opaque. But don't go expecting to see through it like a clear window, that's just not how our little blue planet works.

A shadow is not considered opaque; rather, it is the absence of light caused by an object blocking a light source.

Therefore, a shadow does not possess physical substance or opacity like the object casting it.
Are moon and earth opaque objects?
Yes, both the Moon and Earth are considered opaque objects. Opaque materials do not allow light to pass through, which is evident when observing the Moon and Earth; they block light and cast shadows. While the Moon reflects sunlight, it does not transmit it, confirming its opaque nature. Similarly, Earth is not transparent, as it absorbs and reflects light without allowing it to pass through.
