Sats are another way of counting your amount of Bitcoin aside from the standard numerical amounts, especially as it pertains to Lightning payments.
Say for example you're buying something worth a certain amount in a respective currency (varies from country to country, along with its "worth"); if the amount in Bitcoin is 0.0051239, it would be the same when counting satoshis (51,239 sats).
TL;DR, satoshis are just an easier method of referring to Bitcoin amounts.
