Something that is "obvious" is really easy for anyone to see and understand. Here are some examples:

You: You and your brother don't get along, do you?
Him: Yeah, not really. Is it that obvious?
One way to use "obvious" is with "it is" or "it was" like in these examples:
It was obvious to me that I wasn't welcome there.
