If light passes through you would the sun still warm you?
You'd still get warm via conduction from the heated surface below you, but that's a neat thought
Very good point, choosing an appropriate surface would become very important.
Depends if you're science-invisible (in which case you might be blind) or magic-invisible. Bilbo was still casting a shadow with the One Ring on, so he could sit in the sun while invisible, if he wasn't engulfed in a fucked-up shadow world while doing it. That probably messes things up a bit.
Maybe only visible light passes through you, so you're good.
Visible light is most of the heat in sunlight.
That's also how the greenhouse effect works - sunlight goes through CO2, infrared from things not at 6000C doesn't.
If physics is this strict, the flesh of your enemies is going to pass unharmed through your fangs as well, and that would be sad.
Stuff can be transparent to light but still interact with other matter.
How do you explain people jumping out of windows then, smartass?
Fucking gravity how does it work
