When you "ping" something you test the time it takes, usually in ms, to reach another computer or router, and for that data to come back. So if you were to "ping" Google.com, you would get the length of time it takes to teach them and come back. This is useful in testing connection latency, if you have a connection at all, or if a website/computer is down.
