Pages are what you actually see and use on SharePoint. A Site is a collection of pages. A SiteCollection is, as the name indicates, a collection of sites. A WebApplication is a collection of SiteCollections.
SiteCollections are used to group Sites together to make it easier for you to, for example, share data between these sites.
WebApplications are useful when you need to share data between different SiteCollections.
In this context, I refer to data as any of the following:
- User Content
- Lists
- Pages
- Service Applications
- Features
- Anything that you might want to share between sites
