OPAQUE is the word that describes an object or substance that blocks light (or other energy form). TRANSLUCENT describes objects that allow transmission of light, but scatter it from the original form or direction. TRANSPARENT describes objects that allow the passage of light, usually optically clear substances such as glass.

Why do shadows occur?

Shadows occur when an object blocks light from a source, such as the sun or a light bulb. This creates a region of darkness behind the object, as the light cannot pass through it. The size and shape of a shadow depend on the position of the light source in relation to the object casting the shadow.
