You cannot see through a mirror, you can see the reflection coming off.
Yes the moon is translucent.....notice how the "craters adopt the same color as the sky....in day time the are blueish and at night they are a darker like the night sky....also there has been many people who have seen planets and stars throw the moon as it goes through its phases....do your research!!

A mirror is opaque because it does not allow light to pass through it. Instead, it reflects light, which is why we can see our reflection in it.
Opaque and transparent
a mirror is translucent even though it looks transparent.
Opaque- it does not allow any light to pass (all light is reflected back).
'Opaque' means that light cannot pass through. A mirror or a black body can be referred as opaque objects. But colliqualy the term 'Opaque' is used often as a synonym for 'Opacity'. So 'opaque' can be called a measure of transparency/opacity
The object is opaque
Transparent
it reflects back since mirror is a opaque surface .this phenomenon of bouncing back of light is called reflection.
When light hits a mirror, it either reflects onto another mirror, or bends and travels until it hit an opaque object.
Great question! A mirror can be called as opaque. Because as a whole, it does not allow light to pass through it..Defn of opaque objects: Impervious to the rays of light.A mirror is actually a thin glass slab with its one side coated with silver. So when the rays fall on the mirror, it first falls on the upper face of the glass slab, gets refracted, travels through it, gets reflected by silver, travels back through glass slab, gets refracted at the upper glass-air interface and comes out.So here light actually "passes through" one of the parts of mirror- the glass slab(the other one being the silver coating).But when you say mirror, you consider the object as a whole and not by parts... AND as a whole it does not allow light to pass through it. Therefore, you can very well call it opaque!!
