The short \a\ sound is "ah" as opposed to the long \a\ where you hear the sound of the letter.

Examples:

fat

act

jam

gas

bad

pad

had

bat

cap

dad

cat

A short "a" sound is a vowel sound that is pronounced briefly and is heard in words like "cat" or "bat." It is a quick and crisp sound that is not drawn out.
