How can one tell the difference between opaque, translucent and transparent clouds?

S'COOL Frequently Asked Questions
These categories are somewhat qualitative. We ask for your best judgement. The distinction is easiest to explain for an overcast day. If you cannot even tell where the Sun is, you have opaque clouds. If you can see the Sun but it is just a brighter spot that does not hurt your eyes, you have translucent clouds. If the Sun can be seen as a bright circle you have transparent clouds.

Why are some so-called "transparent" watercolors actually opaque?

FAQ on Paint for Artists
It's the nature of certain pigments, such as cerulean blue, the cadmium colors, and some of the earth colors to be denser and more opaque than others. This is also true in other paints than watercolors, with the exception of gouache, which has opaque matter added to the pigment to give it covering power. See similar questions...

What is the difference between transparent and translucent?

FAQ
Transparent media such as air, water, glass, and clear plastic allow light and images to clearly pass through the material. Translucent materials, on the other hand, allow light to pass through, but clear images cannot be seen through them. For example, frosted glass and thin paper are translucent because they let some light through, but are not transparent because you cannot see clearly through them. See similar questions...

What is the difference between translucent and opaque?

Frequently Asked Questions
Translucent panels are light transmitting. OPAQUE panels are non light transmitting. However, no fiberglass panel should be considered to be light excluding (such as for darkrooms) as glass fibers always have the potential of allowing small amounts of light through. Opaque FRP panels may contain specific fillers to insure low light transmission. See similar questions...

Can the satellite tell if the clouds are translucent, opaque, or transparent?

S'COOL Frequently Asked Questions
The instruments on board the satellites are able to detect the visual opacity of the clouds by measuring the optical depth of the cloud. The optical depth is a measure of the visual or optical thickness of a cloud. Unlike height, it is not measured in meters or feet; but is nondimensional. Usually we can tell when the satellites are not functioning because they will give us weird information. See similar questions...

What is the difference between a 'proxy' and a 'transparent proxy'?

Transparent Proxy FAQs
There is no difference in the role or the functioning of these proxies. In fact they are in many cases the same machine. The only difference is that you do not have to enter specific network settings or any configuration for your HTTP traffic to be captured by a transparent proxy. Because they are built as part of the network architecture, all port 80 traffic must flow through them. See similar questions...

How do I fill with transparent?

What is an opaque object?

FAQ
opaque object is something that allows no light through it. Concrete, wood, and metal are some examples of opaque materials. Some materials can be opaque to light, yet translucent to other types of electromagnetic waves. For example, wood does not allow visible light to pass through it, but will allow other types of electromagnetic waves, such as microwaves and radio waves. See similar questions...

What is the difference between transparent, translucent, and blended primitives?

OpenGL FAQ / 15 Transparency, Translucency, and Using Blendi...
A transparent physical material shows objects behind it as unobscured and doesn't reflect light off its surface. Clear glass is a nearly transparent material. Although glass allows most light to pass through unobscured, in reality it also reflects some light. A perfectly transparent material is completely invisible. A translucent physical material shows objects behind it, but those objects are obscured by the translucent material. See similar questions...

Will they stain?

West-End Paintball - Worcester Massachusetts Paintball Field
Paintballs generally will not stain clothing but a little common sense is required. Wash any painted clothing soon after being hit, and do not trust paint on delicate fabrics. Yes, it does. Many say it is the equivalent of a pinch or a sting. You can expect that, if you are hit, a bruise may develop. The force of the impact is, of course, dependent on the distance from the opposing player, the velocity of the player’s gun and any protective clothing you are wearing. See similar questions...

Will sunless tanners stain my clothes?

Frequently Asked Questions - Sunless.com
Light colored nylon fabrics are definitely in danger, and I have the bathmat to prove it. Avoid wearing light colored nylon fabrics after applying sunless tanners. Wool is also supposed to be at risk, but I haven't confirmed this. Other light colored fabrics may stain slightly but the stains should wash out. The arrival of Coppertone Endless Summer and Bain de Soleil Radiance Eternelle have changed the situation, however. See similar questions...
