The amount of time that the shutter remains open - allowing light to pass through it to form the image. Generally - a lower shutter speed would be combined with a smaller aperture and a higher shutter speed with a larger aperture to correctly expose the image.

The shutter speed setting controls the picture exposure, or how dark or bright the picture will be. Wikipedia has some very good information on shutter speed and aperture.

It depends on the camera setting.Many cameras have a setting A or Av that lets you change the f-stop and the camera will change the shutter speed automatically.The manual setting (often M) will not change the shutter speed, on manual you are left to your own devices.See related link for an overview of common settings.
Camera that can be used in the dark?
Any Camera can be used in the dark with a flash, however if your wish to take a picture without a flash many things come into play. First you need a camera that you can set the ISO speed, Aperture, and Shutter Speed. This is best with a digital SRL Camera. Depending on the lighting set the Aperture at the larges opening wich will be the lowest f number. Set the ISO at the highest setting (1600 or higher if available). and I like to start with a shutter speed of 1/100. Then play with the setting depending on conditions. When shooting at the high ISO speed your picture may get "noise" undeveloped points. It takes alot of practice to get the right settings. I prefer on my camera to set it on shutter priorty TV and let the camera set the aparature size. But i still start with at least a ISO setting of 800.
How would you set the ISO for shutter speed and aperture for correct exposure on a rainy day and why?
The ISO speed, shutter, and aperture are all interconnected. There is never necessarily one "correct" setting for all 3. However, if you're not shooting on a tripod, you probably want to set your shutter speed to 1/60 to reduce camera shake. To eliminate grain, you may want to keep your ISO below 400. It may be cloudy on a rainy day, so you may be able to shoot at f/8 or f/11. Of course, on most digital cameras you could select a shutter priority (meaning the camera will adjust the aperture for correct exposure at a shutter speed of 1/60) and then set your ISO to 400. The camera will automatically meter the scene and set the aperture correctly.
What shutter speed would you use if your object is moveing fast?
Generally a higher shutter speed such as 1/500 is required to capture the image of a fast moving object without a blur. Some cameras have an automatic setting for this.
How does shutter work?
Shutter speed is how fast your shutter opens and closes to take a picture on your camera. Shutter speed also has a lot to do with exposure. The higher the shutter speed (1/2000 example) the less light.
