Possibility is a noun which describes the fact that something might exist or happen but is not certain to
e.g: 1) There is now no possibility that she will make a full recovery
2) He refused to rule out the possibility of a tax increase
3) Bankruptcy ia real possibility if sales don't improve
Whereas Opportunity means: a time when a particular situation makes it possible to do

2) This is the perfect opportunity to make a new start
3) There'll be plenty of opportunity for relaxing once the work is done

We use possibility when we talk about something that may happen or true. The word is followed by noun, that, or of + verb-ing. Example:
1).
the possibility that there is another life after this one is almost zero, or
2).
I never thought of the possibility of studying in Moscow until my friend went there last year.
Opportunity is used when we talk about a situation that we might get/or do. The word is followed by a verb, example: I have the opportunity to study botany with Mrs. Tovald this year.
