Transparency is defined as a quality an object has that allows light to pass through it and any objects on the opposite side can clearly be seen through through the transparent object. Translucent objects still allow light to pass through them, but the objects on the opposite side are not clearly visible. It could be likened to two pieces of glass. One is from a window and the other is frosted. The one piece from the window is transparent, and the frosted piece is translucent
Transparent materials allow light to pass through them without scattering, while translucent materials allow some light to pass through but cause it to scatter. In other words, transparent materials are clear and enable objects to be seen clearly through them, whereas translucent materials are blurry or hazy, making objects behind them hard to distinguish.
