Best Answer

It governs the amount of light that is transmitted to the film (or digital imaging device) by virtue of the it's size (diameter). It works in conjunction with the shutter, which controls the amount of light through the time span it is open.

How does the aperture affect exposure?

If you think about your lens like a papertowel tube over your eye. Now constrict the tube so that it is thinner. This is what the aperature ring does on the end of your lens; it constricts the light flow so that you don't have overexposed images, or helps you to bring out certain colors if you are doing artistic shots. Experiment with changing the aperature in the same setting, you will understand how it works. If you happen to have a non-digital lens lying around, change the aperature off the body, and you will have a perfect understanding how it works.
