The Cloud is the internet - in other words, a network of servers. If you've ever checked your email online or used facebook, then you've used the cloud!
When you use the cloud, your computer communicates with a network of servers, some of these server are specialised for storage whiles others use their computing power to run applications.
An application that runs in the cloud is called a web app. Unlike desktop apps, web apps do not need to be installed - you just need a web browser. Goggle docs is an example of a web app
