In this episode - What Is Aperture In Photography?

Here is my answer

In photography, when we talk about the aperture we are referring to the opening in the camera lens through which light passes when you take a photo. The aperture, combined with the camera shutter, controls the amount of light that reaches the camera sensor when you take a photo.
