Cyclo = its closed
But = 4
As you can see in the diagram... Each carbon is attached with 2 other carbons and 2 hydrogens, since it has a tetra valency.
Hydrogen atoms have valency 1, so two attach to each carbon to gain stability as they are already attached with 2 carbons each in a cyclic form.
Idk whether you understood or not.... But I tried...
