a tree gets a new ring every year (with each turn of the season- growing cycle). rings that are close together would suggest that the tree did not have a good growing season, vice versa for rings which are far apart.
however, there could be any number of reasons which might affect growth including temperature or water (seasons of drought) or perhaps even soil conditions.

The size of each ring will tell you how good the growing season was that year as far as rainfal and warmth go. A wide rind says it was a good growing season and a small ring implies the opposite.

A. In reliable years - sufficient rain, suited temperatures - there replace into reliable growth, with wider rings. In very dry or very chilly years, the tree struggled harder to proceed to exist, with poorer growth and narrower rings

darker parts of the ring shows dry part of the year
