Aspect Ratio is the relationship/ratio of Width To Height.
The first number is always width (horizontal):
The second number is always height (vertical)
16:9 is common aspect ratio (HD Video).
16 is width: 9 is height
1920 x 1080 is 16:9 Aspect Ratio (YouTube videos)
1080 x 1920 is 9:16 Aspect Ratio (Instagram Stories)
1280 x 720 is 16:9 Aspect Ratio (The original HD Video)
720 x 1280 is 9:16 Aspect Ratio (Vertical)
1080 x 1080 is 1:1 Aspect Ratio (Square…Works great on Instagram)

9:16 aspect ratio
Note:
You could also use 720x1280 (9:16) and it would look exactly the same
Trivia:
Divide the Width by 16 and Height by 9 and it will be same number
1920/16 = 120
1080/9 = 120
1280/16 = 80
720/9 = 80
