Super dumb questions by a newbie

Okay, I'm trying to get this new job and I was told they use Unix based systems, so I'm trying to learn as much as possible. I'm fairly knowledgable about computers and have heard about Unix many times before, but I am not at all familar with it.

So here comes the dumb questions:

What exactly is Unix? (Defination?)

What can it be used for?

What is Solaris?

What is Linux?

What are some basics that I need to know?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
