What is The difference between pupil and iris?

The iris is the coloured part of the eye. It's typically brown or blue, but other colours like green or grey are possible. The pupil looks like a black dot in the centre of the iris. It can dilate (get wider) and contract (get smaller). The size of the pupil changes depending on how bright the light is. If you are in a very bright room, or in bright sunlight, your pupils will be very small. This is because not much light needs to be let in to the eye for it to be able to see well. In a dimly-lit room your pupils will be bigger, to let as much light into the eye as possible.
