What does dBZ mean (meteorology)

Watching the hurricane come in and I’m trying to figure out what the dBZ ranking means. The equivalent reflectivity factor goes right over my head. Thanks!

dBZ is a way to measure how much rain or precipitation is in the air. Like a party for raindrops. Higher dBZ means more rain, just not a good party for outdoor plans.
