I keep hearing people with explore machine asking this question all the time so I decided to make this post only to explain what it is.
SVG stands for scalable vector graphic. And the exact definition is: SVG is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics with support for interactivity and animation. The SVGspecification is an open standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) since 1999. SVG images and their behaviors are defined in XML text files.
It pretty much means that it is computer calculated image and you can resize it how ever you want without losing a quality of your picture. For example if you enlarge JPG file, your image can become "pixaleted" and have funny looking squares all over it. It isnt sharp and pretty much not nice anymore. But if you enlarge SVG, you wont get any of that. Image appears same as before you resized it.
