SharePoint architecture :

WebApplication vs SiteCollection vs Sites

WebApplication :
Is a collection of SiteCollections. In technical terms, this is a web site in IIS 
SiteCollection :
The name itself indicates, a collection of sites.
The Site Collection is the root site/Top level site of the web site. Below the Site Collection, there can be one or more Sites.
Site :
Is a collection of pages. Site stores list of documents, discussion, events, task and many other types of information.each site can have multiple sub sites also. 

Where we use this :
In central admin while we are creating new application a web application created.And next step there we are creating a site collection/Top level site(you can create more site collection in this web application by clicking mange web application).
Inside the web application we can create sub sites lists library etc.
