Let me take it really simple.
Tor network is used for anonymous browsing. I recommend you download tor browser from https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html.en.
Normaly, you connect to server what do you want
You ----> Your router ----> Your Internet provider ----> http://torguidelist.tumblr.com/ (server you are connecting to) .
And you are telling to everyone, that you are connecting to http://torguidelist.tumblr.com/ Except. Your connection sends packets with info where are you connecting from, and where are you connecting to, and everyone, who is part of your connection, can see it.
But with tor
You ---> Your router ---> Your Internet provider ----> Tor server ----> Tor server ---> Tor server ----> Tor server ----> http://torguidelist.tumblr.com/ (server who are you connecting to)
But that´s not all, with Tor, you are sending Packets just with next access point,so do not send that you are connecting from your position, and you are connecting to http://torguidelist.tumblr.com/ , but you are telling, that you are connecting from the last access point reached, and to next point, there it can be 100 access points in your connection, or even more, but to each, you are telling only the address of last access point reached, so only your router may know your ip adress.
if your connection reach Tor Network, your ip has successfully changed, and no one knows where are you connecting to, because they see only the network point of your last connection, so if you are connecting through 100 servers, you change your ip 100 times, and the server what are you connecting to knows only the last one,so if you visit Whatismyip.com you will see any ip from all around the world, that is address of one of Tor servers.
This Was Simple Starting With Tor
