It is a graphic representation of the exposure of the image. Some histograms are only exposure....as a previous post states...if the bulk of the graph is to the left the image is under exposed...to the right over exposed. Some will also break the graph into the three color channels and allows the photographer to know if there is a strong color shift in the image. This can be corrected in many ways. The main point is you can not trust the LCD display on the back of the camera to give you an accurate representation of an image. The histogram is very good at telling you the real story.

It shows the overall light intesity of a picture.
you want the peaks in the middle, as much as possible.
This indicates a "properly" exposed image.
If the peaks are mostly on the right, it is overexposed, if they are mostly on the left, it is underexposed.
