If you mean those disks you put into your computer drive to use various programs, then you're talking about a Compact Disk.
A CD is a disk that can be read (and in some cases, re-written) by a computer. The computer's CD drive uses a little laser beam to "read" the information off of microscopic pits and valleys on the disk, which coinside with computer code, binary. (01101001...)
There are two types of CDs: CD-R and CD-RW. CD-R stands for CD Recordable, which means that information can be put on the disk once, but then its there permanently. CD-RW stands for CD ReWritable, which means (as seen from the name) that a computer can put on and take off information on the disk all you want, or, if you use it like a billion times, until it wears out.

a round plastic thing with a data track, vaguely similar to the old vinyl discs called records. tiny bumps in the data track are read by a laser and converted into usable electronic pulses.
