A simile is when something is described by comparing it to something else by using the words "as", "like" or "than". For example "float like a feather" or "green as grass". The difference between a simile and a metaphor is that the metaphor says that something is.
Simile - Her hair is like gold in the sun.
Metaphor - Her hair is gold in the sun.
