To create the impression of movement, in a computer game, movie, etc., lots of pictures are shown quickly, one after the other. Each individual picture is called a "frame" in this context. A high FPS number results in a smooth animation.

It how many frames pass in front of the projector lens in a second. Old projectors used to use 16 FPS, newer ones use 24 FPS.
fps can stand for Frames Per Second but can also refer to Feet Per Second.
MPH (miles per hour) KPH (kilometers per hour) FPS (frames per second)
In 1 second of video, the number of pictures, or frames, can vary depending on the frame rate. Common frame rates include 24 frames per second (fps) for film, 30 fps for television, and 60 fps for high-definition video. Therefore, in 1 second of video, there can be anywhere from 24 to 60 individual pictures, or frames, depending on the format used.
A millisecond is 1/1000 of a second, so you would need 1000 fps for 1 frame to be 1 ms.
Your eye doesn't see in frames per second (fps) - and it's hard to determine how many fps the eye would be because of the way people construct video and use frame blurring. The average cinema film is done in 24 frames per second. Because the eye doesn't have a shutter means its constantly viewing (until you blink). http://www.100fps.com/how_many_frames_can_humans_see.htm
