compares one thing to another eg. the song was as tuneful as a happy bird joyfully singing its daily song or the newly flowered plants were like amethysts sparkling in the golden sun.
A simile is a describing technique by comparing one thing with another using like or as, for example:

The princess is as pretty as a rose.

She was tall like a giraffe.
