CC - Carbon copy. Meant for sending same message to a group of people. Careful you do not send more than a dozen in the CC field or you might get labeled as spam and the message not recieved by some or forwarded to the spam filter.
BCC - is blind carbon copy. Every recipient as far as they know is the only one to get that email unless you have somebody in the sender field. They they think it's just a CC to those two people. BCC is not commonly used today because spammers used it frequently to get around filters and with some places BCC means instant spam filter application. Most places still allow BCC but it will potentially get your email flagged as spam if it contains common spam words, is sent to too many people or if it is nothing but an image.
You can also do CC and BCC with forwarded messages which is probably the most common use of the CC and BCC functions in an email client. Generally it's a message you want to pass along to others, often one passed on to you in the same way such as a joke.
It is good email practices to remove the CC list of emails you forward. For example you are friends with person A but hate person C. Person B is a mutual friend of both of you. You forward the email to person B, then person B without thinking forwards the email CC list intact to person C and all of a sudden person C now has your personal email addy. Another reason to remove CC lists is that spammers can get ahold of an email forwarded by several people and suddenly they have 20-100 valid email addys to add to their spam list. So when forwarding an email forwarded to you take a second to remove the email list of people from the quoted text in the body of the message.

It means Carbon Copy. You can send email to one person and then cc: it to another, or many more.
BCC: is Blind Carbon Copy. It's nice to use that if you are sending to lots of people so that the recipients don't have to look at a long list of names and emails.
Hope that helps.

Carbon copy. It used when sending to multiple recipients. It allows others to see who the email was sent to. Use the bcc for blind carbon copy, the recipient address are then hidden.

"cc" lets you add more email addresses so you can send the message to more than 1 person
