So i just got into scripting and i always see this type of command, but what really is a ''Child''? I can't find any good information that could explain it properly..

Hey,
FindFirstChild() will return the first child of an Instance.
So let's say my file tree looked like this...
Part
- SurfaceLight
If I ran Part:FindFirstChild("SurfaceLight"), it would return SurfaceLight.
You can also use :FindFirstChild() in if statements to see if something exists or not like so...
if Part:FindFirstChild("SurfaceLight") then
-- run code
end
