The normal distribution occurs when a number of random variables, with independent distributions, are added together. No matter what the underlying probability distribution of the individual variables, their sum tends to the normal as their number increases.
Many everyday measures are composed of the sums of small components and so they follow the normal distribution.

What is the difference of a normal distribution and a stardard normal distribution?
The standard normal distribution is a special case of the normal distribution. The standard normal has mean 0 and variance 1.
Is the normal distribution infinite?
The domain of the normal distribution is infinite.
What does a negative kurtosis mean?
It means distribution is flater then [than] a normal distribution and if kurtosis is positive[,] then it means that distribution is sharper then [than] a normal distribution. Normal (bell shape) distribution has zero kurtosis.
Are all unimodal distributions normal?
No. Normal distribution is a special case of distribution.
What properties distinguishes standard normal distribution from other normal distribution?
The normal distribution can have any real number as mean and any positive number as variance. The mean of the standard normal distribution is 0 and its variance is 1.
