Introduction to Dimensions

I'm not sure what is dimension clearly before,so I decide to make it clear!

In MSDN:  It  is  defined  as follows:
     dimensions are groups of attributes based on columns from tables or views in a data source view.
It has two types:
1) database dimension: which exists independent of cube
2) cube dimension : an instance of a database dimension within a cube

The structure of dimesion :
1) dimension based on a star schema design
      
each dimension in this structure is based on a single dimension table that is directly linked to the fact table by a primary key - foreign key relationship.
2) dimension based on a snowflak schema design
      
In this structure  each dimension is based on attributes from columns in multiple tables linked to each other and ultimately to the fact table by primary key - foreign key relationships.
