      This is a difficult question for me to answer!!! It is something to do with the electrons in glass been very far apart so they can’t absorb photons from light as it passes through it making it see through. We only see things because we see light bouncing off them so if the light isn’t captured by the object as is the case with glass we will see whatever the light bounces off instead (which is whatever is outside the window)

      This really is more of a physics question but have given in a go 🙂
