It's a... oh damnit, where to start. A .jpg is a type of image file. If I have to explain to you anything else, you might as well buy a book on how how computers work for beginners.

A Jpeg is an image file that uses lossy compression. It is a great filetype for photographs, but horrible for sprite images
It is known for its large amount of dithering, as opposed to gif which uses a palette based system, png, which uses a superior algorithm, or bitmap, which isn't compressed at all and no one with any sense uploads onto the Internet

.jpg is an image compression format where it makes up the image out of squares of multiple pixcells in size.
Each square is worked out separatly and concists of a few pixcels. The higher the compression, the bigger / worse quality the squares are which is the cause of the artifacts you see when viewing low quality images close up.
Wikipedia has a more technical explination of how the image is generated and how it saves in size.
This has been moved to the computer support forum as it is related to that.

Let's all repeat each other, shall we? That sounds like so much FUN! 
JPEG, which stands for Joint Picture Experts Group (if I recall correctly), is a lossy image format. It provides fine compression for photographs and realistic images, but offers poor performance of some computer generated images such as rasterized vector art.
JPEG tessellates an image into 8x8 pixel blocks, then performs a discrete cosine transform on each block. Based on the degree of rounding of the result, you get different degrees of quality at different file sizes.
