This is the average time it takes for miners to solve a complex mathematical problem and add a new block to the Bitcoin blockchain. The mining process involves powerful computers competing to solve the problem, and the first one to find the solution gets to add the block and receive a reward in the form of newly minted Bitcoins. So, on average, there are 6 blocks mined per hour and 144 blocks mined in a day.
