in a clear way. I am not a native speaker. If possible, give me also a few examples. Thanks a lot.

Perhaps for the purpose of explaining it to non native English speaking students you could say that it is like a little roof that goes past the building to protect from sun and rain. Can you google an image maybe?

An overhang is anything that protrudes past a basic point. For example: A roof that juts out several feet is called an overhang. A stomach that protrudes in an obese manner outward is called an overhang.
An overhang must be attached to an object, not free standing.

An eave on a building, a desktop or counter overhangs the cabinet. Anything that protrudes past its base.

overhang is like a compound word. it is something that hangs over, figuratively or literally. an over hang could be an awning. It really depends upon the context you are looking for. Maybe you could expand upon your question.
