Shutter speed is measured in seconds. To capture something fast you need a quick shutter speed otherwise the photo will be blurred. If the shutter is slow it creates "motion blur". Shutter speed catches movement.
This is how quickly the shutter opens and closes. The longer the shutter speed, the more light gets into the camera. A short shutter speed will freeze things without much motion, so you can photograph fast moving things like cars or animals. A long shutter speed would capture movement, and the image would look blurred. This is useful to show movement or speed.

Aperture is the size of the window. If it’s bigger more light gets through and the room is brighter. Shutter Speed is the amount of time that the shutters of the window are open. The longer you leave them open the more that comes in. Now imagine that you’re inside the room and are wearing sunglasses (hopefully this isn’t too much of a stretch). Your eyes become desensitized to the light that comes in (it’s like a low ISO)
