the Thames was a thread of silver below them
Could somebody explain this sentence to me? I was looking for the meaning of 'thread'. The above is the example in the Oxford dictionary.
In the Longman: The Colorado River was just a thread of silver, 4000 feet below.
I haven't a clue.
Thanks

When you look down at earth from an airplane or mountaintop, the sun glints off of the water in rivers and streams,making them look like silver threads.
