|  | ## CSS3 Opacity Property
 | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | `opacity` lets you control how transparent an element is on a scale of `0` to `1`. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | If you set the property of an element to `0` it will be transparent. If you set it to `1` it will be opaque. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | Setting an element to `opacity: 0;` does not remove it from the page. The element will still be clickable and impact the flow of the page's content. | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | ```css | ||
|  | .transparent { | ||
|  |     opacity: 0; | ||
|  | } | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | .verySeeThrough { | ||
|  |     opacity: 0.3; | ||
|  | } | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | .slightlySeeThrough { | ||
|  |     opacity: 0.7; | ||
|  | } | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | .opaque { | ||
|  |     opacity: 1; | ||
|  | } | ||
|  | ``` | ||
|  | 
 | ||
|  | [This simple example](https://jsfiddle.net/1ogmxaf8/1/) shows how you might use opacity with a hover effect. | ||
