hey"DON" r... something is 100% correct.water absorbs the white ligt.no colour canbe absorbed most.ever saw the water in oceans blue it was explained by the raman effect.light contains small particles called photons.........the colour meaning vibgyor absorbed most will become the colour of that object.......................

Because the gases that make up water:"H" Hydrogen an "O2" Oxygen are colourless.
If somebody here raises the point that Carbon Dioxide too is transperent though it is made up of Carbon and Oxygen, remember that pure Carbon is not black.A diamond isone of the purest form of carbon and it is transperent.

water is not completely transperent. you can call it very sensitive trans-lucent substance. this can be proven by the splitting of sun's rays into VIBGYOR when they are passed through water.
also you cannot see the image of any object clearly on the other side of a glass of even purest water.
water appears to be transperent because it's molecules both hydrogen and oxygen are colourless gases at almost all temperatures.

because water molecules do not absorb visible wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.
They do however absorb very strongly in the infrared, which is why water vapour is referred to as a greenhouse gas. Its also why sattelite pictures using IR identify storm systems.

Because light passes through it, rather than bouncing off of it.
