Default Turbo A/R and sizes wtf

ive been doing the turbo setup for a long time now, and i feel dumb asking this. but i just have to clarify cause it seems even my friends that have 600hp cant explain to me. WTF is the a/r measurement of a turbo actually measuring. i know the bigger the a/r the bigger the actual unit is for that side. the higher the a/r the laggier it is on the exhaust side but the more power potential up top granted you have a big enough compressor side. can someone please link me to a site that explains this or someone explain it. i dont need a page in detail just a brief explanation.
