It represents the percentage of visitors who enter the site and "bounce" (leave the site) rather than continue viewing other pages within the same site.
how to calculate Bounce rate:


Rb = (Tv / Te)
where
Rb = Bounce rate
Tv = Total number of visitors viewing one page only
Te = Total entries to page.

A visitor may bounce by:

1. Clicking on a link to a page on a different web site
2. Closing an open window or tab
3. Typing a new URL .
4. Clicking the "Back" button to leave the site
5. Session timeout

[AmmyTisdale]

If a user spend time on your website less than 10 seconds then this would be counted in a bounce category.

[Jagbani]

I think when user spend time on your site 1-10 second that call a bounce rate.. but it's not good for site or site..

[ethan7557]

Bounce rate is the percentage of single-page visits or visits in which the person left your site from the entrance (landing) page. the lower bounce rate is, the better your site perform

[szenith1]

The time user spend on your site or page is called bounce rate if it increases that means it is simply giving message to Google that your site have nothing for user's interest and it will effect on your pr and traffic.
