People keep asking me "What is cloud computing?" Well to keep it simple cloud computing is a bunch of servers at some location running the service that is requested. 
Let's look at Google for this. A lot of people are submitting request to Google at any given time. Now when I say Google I mean all of Google services--Gmail, Search and so on. Google has a cluster of servers in one geographic location to handle the requests. This cluster shares the load of that geographic location. There may be 1500 or more request coming in to Google at any one time. Google has software designed to split the load. 

There are many other types of clouds out there. Some clouds let you host your own servers and other let you store data. The bottom line is a cloud let's the user access endless amounts of resource without having servers at their business or home. 
Hope this helps.
