If you blow up an image, you will see the individual pixels (aka. picture elements). The spatial resolution is the size of the pixel. Satellites all have different resolutions they all have different pixel sizes i. e. pixels up to a km, pixels that are 50cm x 50cm. The spatial resolution of a satellite is 50cm by 50cm. Interesting fact: the best size of pixel we can get from a satellite from space is 39cm. This is the finest and best spatial resolution from space. Good for roads, spying on groups of people.
