The word pixel means picture element (from pic-el). It is a small piece of a picture which is either all black, all white, all red, or whatever color it is, it is just one color. If you put enough of these pixels together you can create a picture. Mega means million. So ten mega pixels is a screen which has ten million different sections which can each be a different color. It's a lot. This gives you good detail.

AKA - they are tiny ( by tiny i mean somtimes not visible to the naked eye) little dots or pixles (PIC-cells) in the line or order be color to make text or images on youre computer screen.

What is megapixcal in digital camera?

A measure of resolution that reflects the ability of a digital camera to record detail. The more megapixels a camera has the more detail its images can contain and the more they can be enlarged without losing clarity. More megapixels aren't always necessary, however.

How many Megapixels per byte?

A byte is 8 bits. A megapixel is 1,048,576 bits. 8/1,048,576 is 0.00000762939 megapixels per byte. More likely, your question wanted to know how many bytes, on disk, to store a megapixel. That depends on the jpeg compression. A very busy picture with lots of different colors and lots of detail requires a lot more than a picture of the moon on a dark night. I find an 800 x 600 jpeg requires 30K to 120K on the disk.
