Opacity is the degree to which light is blocked!. An opaque product has a significant amount of light blocked!. It's hard to see anything through it!. A semi transparent allows enough light through to notice something is there, but you can't see it clearly!. Transparent is a property that allows much light through, and it is easy to see what is behind it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Opaque means that you can't see through it at all, like you are opaque!.
Transparent you can see striat through like glass!.
Semi-transparent sound the same as translucent which is you can see through it but not really clear or maybe just a silouette like clouded glass or or paper with light passing through it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Opaque you cannot see thru at all (like an apple)
Transparent is completely see thru (like glass windows)
Semi-transparent (aka translucent) are where you can see thru, but the image is not clear (like the fog in your mirror after a shower)

opaque - you can't see through it
transparent - you can see through it
semi-transparent - you can see through it but not very well (think a fabric that you can see sort of through it when you hold it up to the light!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

think of it this way!?
A solid wood table is opaque as you cannot see through it!.
Semi-transparant, think of tinted windows
Transparant think glass!Www@QuestionHome@Com
