Answer 2

The binary system is simply zeros and ones, it computer code, 0 is off and 1 is on, its simple as that. To actually get into how it works and what it does, would require a long drawn out answer.

Answer 3

Here is the best description I could give u is that it follows a series of ones and zero's for example(10101). This helps when u r doing different processes on your computer because everything is on binary code for each and most processes that r done on the computer.
