Basically it's a measure of how bright it is. When it's cloudy it's darker than if the skies are clear. Light intensity is a way of putting a number on that.

Good question. And here is the scientific answer you sought.
Monochromatic intensity of emission is the radiant energy emitted at a specified wavelength per unit area, time, and wave length. It is generally stated in units of cal cm^-2 min^-1 micron^-1. I hope this helps somewhat.
