it's how many "slots" it takes on the motherboard/case, every PCI lane is a slot sorta, dual slot means simply it will take the size of two lanes while single only one.

Lets say you have 2 PCIE slots right next to each other. A dual slot would cover the other one and the single slot would not cover it. Just cover, not plug into. 

 

You should put all your questions into a single thread, this is kinda becoming spam.

 Single slot on the left, dual slot on the right.

dual slot GPUs takes up two PCI slots while single slot GPUs take up only one PCI slot. When I say PCI slot, I mean the actual space, not the connectors themselves. Both only use one PCI-e connector.

it takes up 2 PCI slots in your case. most cards take up the space of 2 slots.

here is single slot

Single slot, notice the metal bracket

 

Dual slot, not metal bracket is higher
