Using PING command, we can determine if we can reach a host computer in Internet or not. And also, we can determine how long it takes for a roundtrip (i.e. From Source computer to Destination computer and back to source.)
Definition: PING Command is a very useful Utility to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network and to measure the round-trip time for messages sent from the originating host to a destination computer.
PING stands for "Packet Inter-Network Groper".
