Get view of overlapping two 3d surfs

Hello! I would like to be able to see how two different 3d plots overlapps. The problem is, when I create two different surfs one absorbs another and due to that, it is possible fully to see one figure and partly another. this is the code I am using:

R = 1; %// radius
H = 3; %// height
N = 100; %// number of points to define the circumference
[x, y, z] = cylinder([0 R], N);
[x_,y_,z_] = sphere;
figure;surf(X,Y,Z,'EdgeColor', 'None');hold on;surf(x,y,z);grid on

and get this:

so I can't get information about the cone, where it ends inside of the sphere... I looked up on the internet, but did not find clear solution of the problem. Hope you can help. Thanks in advance!

Set the sphere transparency with the 'FaceAlphs' name-value pair, and you can see the cone inside the sphere.

The Code —

R = 1; %// radius
H = 3; %// height
N = 100; %// number of points to define the circumference
[x, y, z] = cylinder([0 R], N);
[X,Y,Z] = sphere;
figure
surf(X,Y,Z,'EdgeColor', 'None', 'FaceAlpha',0.8);
hold on
surf(x,y,z)
hold off
grid on

Thank you very much! This is exactly what I need
