HI Ismail,

Usually, the Salesforce ID have 15 or 18 characters; The object id refers to first three characters from the Salesforce ID. For example, if you browse any Account Name in the org it should be this way "001F000000gkM5s".
001 is Account object id. Similarly, we can find the object id from Salesforce ID from first three characters.
 
If the ID starts with 001, it belongs to Account object.
006 pertains to opportunities.

Hope this helps.

Kindly mark it as best solution if it's solved.

Best Regards,
Nagendra.P
