What makes an object transparent translucent or opaque?

The transparency, translucency, or opacity of an object depends on how much light it allows to pass through. Transparent objects allow almost all light to pass through, translucent objects allow some light to pass through but diffuses it, and opaque objects do not allow light to pass through at all. This is determined by the material's molecular structure and composition.

Why you can feel the presence of light eventhough you close your eyelids?

Some light is actually transmitted through the eyelid because it is a relatively thin layer of tissue. When a great amount of light illuminates your eyelids, some of it will reflect (causing its external side to appear bright) and most will be absorbed by the melanin pigment, while there tends to be a fraction that is transmitted past a cell. In thicker layers of tissue all light will eventually be stopped, but eyelids are thin and a very general color will be detected by the eye.
