What’s the difference between frames per second and updates per second

terminology

FPS is obviously just the number of frame changes per second, but I have no idea what UPS is and Google is returning nothing.

ps, this is a tutorial question, so I'm not just making up UPS 😛

Updates per second could be how often the game world is updated, ie positions of the game objects, colisions etc. as opposed to how often the scene is rendered (FPS).
