What is meant by opacity in CSS?

Question

currently I have been learning CSS in SoloLearn. I had seen a term opacity. could anyone clear me this?

Answer 1

Opacity refers to how transparent or see-through something is. 100% opacity means completely solid (cannot see anything behind it), 0% means completely transparent (it's invisible), any other values mean partially seethrough.

Answer 7

It inversely means transparency of a color!
If opacity is 100%, it is 0% transparent.
If opacity is 0%, it is 100% transparent.

Answer 8

Opacity usually signifies how it looks, like it may have a low opacity and look like a drop of dye mixed with water, or if it has a high opacity, it would look just like the dye, thick and solid color. Hope this helps.
