<h2>Answer: dark matter</h2>

It is believed that the Milky Way has 90% dark matter and only 10% ordinary matter (known matter). Because, like gravity, <u>dark matter can not be observed directly</u>, however its existence is inferred through the movement of the stars and the cosmic dust within the galaxy.

It is important to note that dark matter composition is unknown and corresponds to 80% of the matter in the universe. It does not emit or interact with any type of electromagnetic radiation, but it interacts with the known matter through gravity.

Explain how atomic interactions determine a material to be transparent and opaque?
motikmotik

Answer:

Explanation below.

Explanation:

It should be understood that transparency is caused through or by the transmission of light waves. This means that, If or when the energy known as the vibrational energy of a light wave is passed through the object, then the object appears clear, or transparent. And when or If the energy only causes vibrations in the surface before reflecting off the object, then the object will appear opaque, that is nontransparent.
