Apature is a hole within the lens of a camera which can be manipulated in order to let more or less light into the lens. The lower the Aperture the dimmer the picture, the higher the Aperture the brighter the picture.

Smaller Aperture and Larger Aperture Differences
A smaller aperture is used when, for example, taking close-up shots. As the aperture is smaller the depth of field is increased which ensures the whole picture is in focus. Smaller apertures are important when shooting landscape scenes as the picture remains in-focus. Smaller apertures means slower shutter speeds, enabling the photographer to create pictures that capture light trails of cars and motion blur.
Larger apertures are used to reduce the depth of field and to focus on the subject while blurring the background, bringing more focus to what the camera is taking a picture of. Larger apertures bring faster shutter speeds as more light is let into the lens; this means that camera shake is reduced so it wont spoil any shots.
