can you explain gear inches?

i understand that the higher the gear inches, the harder it is to pedal thus the faster you can go. i've seen many charts and graphs and so on showing me how to calculate gear inches too. my question is what are the inches measuring? the length of the chain? the radii of the cogs/chainwheels? please help, i can't sleep at night with this weighing on my mind.
