  Hi Carol,

  We have a help article which should explain most of the aspects of our stats page right here:

  Jetpack Stats

  However to answer your question, here is the section on the difference between views and visitors:

  The two main units of traffic measurement are views and unique visitors. A view is counted when a visitor loads or reloads a page. A visitor is counted when we see a user or browser for the first time in a given period (day, week, month).

  I hope this helps!
