Hertz is the term applied to the units sometimes called cycles per second. A thousand cycles per second is a thousand Hertz. A cycle is a reference to a complete "excursion" or "group of changes" that a varying signal or voltage will go through before it returns to "where it started" to begin going through the changes again. That complete range of changes is said to be a cycle.

Voltage is a measure of electromotive force (EMF), which is the "electrical pressure" that can cause current flow if there is a current path.

Hertz is a time base unit, 1/s or 'per second' it is the unit associated with frequency, so 10 Hz is 10/s or 10 per second. It usually referrs to oscillations, so in electronics 10 Hz means 10 cycles per second.
