For Christians, the Ascension is when Jesus rose to heaven in his earthly body in front of the disciples. Here is a link to read more about it.
I hope it helps!

In Christian mythology, the Ascension was when Jesus arose into the clouds after spending time on the earth following his resurrection.

It refers to Jesus as He ascended into the clouds and seen no more by His apostles,most like from the Mount of Olives.Scripture says He sets on the right hand of the Father in all His glory & honor due him.
To be taken up.

it can be related to the rapture, ascension is simply put as moving up, God calling his followers from the earth, to the sky where he waits for them

Jesus ascended or "floated up" into heaven. It is important because after Jesus was ressurrected, His body didn't die again. He lives and sits at the right hand of the Father. That is why christians place an importance on it.

Well.... in Stargate SG-1, it's when a person dies but they are so enlightened that they leave their physical body and ascend to a higher level of existence.
Oh c'mon, people... Stargate is just as plausible (or, rather, implausible) as Christianity.

It is the act of ascending, or going up.
