Why does a camera need a aperture to control the amount of light hitting the film?
The aperture setting refers to the iris of the camera lens. Like that of your eye, it opens and closes, regulating the amount of light entering the camera body and exposing the film. I always remembered it like this: "The smaller the number (aperture setting), the bigger the hole" and vice versa. If you are in a darker room you need to turn the aperture down to allow more light in so that your prints do not turn out under exposed. You can also adjust your speed setting in correlation with the aperture setting to create greater/less depth of field, meaning what is in or out of focus in front of or behind your subject.
What part of a camera controls the amount of light that enters the camera?
The functional opening is the aperture, the opening that controls the amount of light that hits the photosensitive surface. You may have a camera with interchangeable lenses that screw into and out of the camera's body. The opening into which the lens is screwed is not the aperture.
Do the aperture controls adjust the length of time the light strikes the sensor?
No, the aperture controls adjust the size of the opening that light enters the camera through (see image above, left maximum aperture setting, right minimum aperture setting).
What is aperture priority in photography?
Aperture priority lets you set the aperture you want and the camera sets the shutter speed for you. You use it when you want to control depth of field. Shutter priority lets you set the shutter speed you want and the camera sets the aperture for you. You use it when you want to control how motion is rendered in the photograph. Program mode sets both shutter speed and aperture for you. Use it when you are not concerned with aperture or shutter speed control.
