主题切换开关过渡中断

I am trying to create a theme toggling switch but one of the transitions has broken. I've put in a transition for the rectangular divs at the bottom of the page, but it is not working properly. Each of those divs has a different z-index level and I'm worried that that's what's broken the code. Unfortunately I need them to be layered because I'm going to add a parallax effect to each of them later. Does anyone know why the transition is misbehaving. (if you want to see the full page you can find it here)

const checkBox = document.getElementById('checkbox');
    var hills = document.getElementsByClassName('hillsl');
    checkBox.addEventListener("change", updateBackground);
    updateBackground();

    function updateBackground() {
      document.getElementById("light").style.opacity = checkBox.checked ? "0" : "1";
      document.getElementById("hillsl").style.opacity = checkBox.checked ? "0" : "1";
      
    }
*{
  box-sizing: border-box;
  
}

body{
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-content: center;
  margin: 0;
  height: 100vh;
  transition: background 0.2s linear;
  
}
