www stands for world wide web
.com is used by commercial entities
.net and .org are used by non-commercial entities (e.g. non-profit)
.edu is used by universities and colleges and such
.gov is used for government sites
.mil is used for military
Non-US commercial entities use two-letter country codes such as .co.uk for England and .co.jp for Japan
etc.
There are tons of other possible endings.

the .com portion is answered correctly above.
The www does stand for World Wide Web and this prefix denotes that an HTML connection is being requested from the domain. You can have other prefixes for what is known as 'sub domains'. For example, look at the address bar for this page. You'll notice that it starts with 'answers.yahoo.com'. This allows a domain host to 'break up' their many different areas into sub-domains that can then be managed more effiencently.
Hope this helps!
