It's not perfect by all means, but maybe this analogy will work: If the internet was a fast food restaurant then the surface web would be like the counter where you order and get your food. The deep web would be like the kitchen where your food is processed. Sometimes visible, sometimes not, but nothing really secret going on. You may ask and you may get answers depending on your clearance level. Maybe the dark web would be the secrets of the fast food restauraunt they don't want customers to know about for lots of reasons. Like the recipes, the trades, the money flow, the illegal trash dumping, how to kill the competition, that time people almost died of food poisoning, etc.
