Meaning

Mono audio contains one channel, which can be presented through multiple speakers without creating distinct left and right content.

A practical example

A spoken narration recorded as one channel can be delivered as mono while music remains a separate stereo asset.

What to check

Two identical channels do not add spatial information. Check the actual channel layout and listening result instead of assuming a larger file sounds better.
