Glass is transparent to visible light, so it does not absorb it. Instead, it allows light to pass through it. However, glass can reflect and refract light, affecting the way light passes through it.
Infrared light passes through glass because glass is transparent to infrared radiation. Glass does not absorb or reflect infrared light, allowing it to transmit through the material.
The glass appears green due to the presence of iron impurities in the glass material, which absorb certain wavelengths of light and reflect green light, giving the glass a green hue.
UV light does not pass through glass because the molecules in glass absorb and block the UV radiation, preventing it from passing through.
Plants and trees absorb light during photosynthesis to create energy. Black surfaces absorb light because they do not reflect it. Oceans and lakes absorb sunlight, warming up the water.
Typically, the IR energy is absorbed by the glass as heat.

Non-metal materials such as glass, plastics, and water can absorb light. These materials absorb light energy by exciting the electrons in their atoms or molecules, leading to an increase in temperature or causing the emission of light in a different form.
If one installed a reliabilt door and would like to replace side light glass, the entire set has to be bought. There are no available side light glasses for sale individually.

Glass, clear plastics, perspex, most gases
silicon edit: The structure of glass does not absorb light from the visible spectrum. Since the light passes through the object, people are capable of seeing behind the glass.
It doesn't water refracts or bends the light which is why the straw looks bent in a glass of water

When a piece of glass appears black, it is likely absorbing all visible light frequencies rather than transmitting them. This could be due to impurities in the glass that absorb light or a particular treatment on the surface of the glass.
Materials that absorb light well are typically dark or opaque, as they reflect less light back. Examples include black fabric, asphalt, and charcoal. Conversely, materials that are light or transparent, like glass or white paper, tend to reflect more light and absorb less.
