What is aperture?

The size of the opening in the lens when a picture is taken.

How aperture works both technically and visually:

Aperture is measured in "f stops". The lower your f stop is, the wider the aperture is. It lets in more light. 

Relationship to the exposure triangle:

Aperture is at the top of the triangle and helps with the lighting in pictures.
