1st is directly connected to you and 2nd is connected to them.
First degree means that the person was sent is connected to you. This can be a friend, colleague, classmate, or perhaps someone else who you have meet here since this is a social website. You can message them directly.
Second degrees are the friends of your friends. Those in the second degree can only be contacted via Introduction or InMail. It may be possible to get around this if you were in the same group(s).
I am sending you the source of my information along with the third degree and group information, which you did not seek.

Hi Jason
1st degree connections are those people whom you are directly connected to. Anyone listed as a connection on your profile is considered to be a 1st degree connection.
Second degree connections are those people that are not connected to you directly, but are directly connected to your 1st degree connections.
Third degree connections are those people connected to your second degree connections. You would have to be introduced through two connections.
