It means that a digit that is further to the left has a greater value than one that is further to the right. For example, the 1 in "10" has a value of ten, while the 1 in "100" has a value of hundred. In general, the "place value" for each position is ten times as much as the position to its right. The actual value of each digit is the digit itself, times its place value.
