Arduino is a piece of electronics board used to create a digital interactive device that can interact with the physical world around like sense and control the outside environment by using an almost unlimited range of input and output devices. we can program the needed interactions required to create some functional device that is performing a specific task.
We can make our Arduino device a connected system. It can be connected to the internet using wireline like Ethernet, wireless like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or whatever. Now if you think about it for a second this is what the internet of things (IoT) is all about. Building smart devices that are acting as connected entities and are sharing real-time information with the internet cloud. By doing these we can turn the Arduino into endless electronics applications
Looking at the Arduino board, I can say, it is some printed circuit board (PCB). That is specifically designed to use a microcontroller chip as well as all kind of other connectors and components that allows us to attach inputs and outputs data.
Arduino is an open-source hardware platform. That means Anyone can download the design files and create the same product or a new one and this is why we will see that some companies are selling the Arduino official products and other companies are selling “compatible Arduino” products.
From a developer's point of view to program the Arduino microcontroller, they provide us a very nice integrated development environment (IDE) for free and we can download from the internet and the code itself is based on a C/C++ programming language.

Why this Arduino platform is so popular?
Probably because it is a really affordable low-cost product so people around the world can easily buy and start play and try building all kinds of applications around it.
