Newbie question: Exactly what is 'frost'?

Hi,
As it says in the subject, I'm new to gardening, and want to know
exactly what 'frost' is.
I would assume it's zero degrees, hence ice forming overnight. However
I read articles mentioning it (don't plant until the last of the
frosts, etc) talking about the Sydney area, but as far as I know we
don't really get any frosts.
Well, I guess some parts of Sydney do, but it's pretty rare where I
am, which is Ryde.
Anyway, what is 'frost'?
