Help with terminology

Of late... I've been getting a little more involved with the whole science/physics/voodoo of planetary CCD imaging.

I was wondering if anyone has a link to something explaining arcseconds, particularly how these apply to seeing and pixel resolution?

Actually, I'm not even clear on what an arcsecond is?

I'm not really clued in on these (and other) units of sky measurement.

Sorry for the dumb question

Thanks
