it is the triad formed by stacking a major third and a minor third on the 1st note of the c major scale.

That is, the 1st, 3rd and 5th notes of the major scale, played simultaneously

Those notes are C, E, and G

so play c, e, and g simultaneously, and you have your c major

Also, you can play any amount of those three notes, e.g., 2 c's, 2 e's and 1 g (which is what you are playing when you play a basic C major shape on a guitar in standard tuning, and not playing the low e)

You don't really need to worry about intervals and thirds so much, just remember the formula - 1, 3, 5

Major and Minor chords are determined by the third of the chord making them sound different. Major chords have a more happy, open sound and minor chords have a "sad" sound.
