Because both liquis and solids are reflect the radiation energy.

When solar radiation hits a surface, the photons can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted. In the case of opaque (not transparent) materials, none of the photons are transmitted. .

If the material is dark and dull (not reflective or shiny) very few of the photons are reflected.

Solids and Liquids are generally considered opaque to radiation because their molecules are tightly packed, which leads to high absorption or reflection of radiation.

Gases, on the other hand, are typically transparent to radiation, allowing it to pass through with minimal interaction. This property is due to their sparse molecular arrangement.
