Flat is a matte finish, while satin is a light sheen but not shiny finish. Satin would be a bit more light reflective than flat.

Flat paint does not have any sheen to it. Satin has a very slight sheen when viewed from a 15 degree angle to the wall.

Well typically flat is the dullest level of gloss paint available. Satin is a few level above this and has a slight sheen to it.

Flat paint you can use on the bottom , like a color for your car. The last paint should do with satin or glass clear paint.
