What does Compressible Area Ratio of a rocket nozzle signify?

The area ratio of the exit area to that of the throat area is called as the Compressible Area Ratio.

Throat of the nozzle

The optimum mass flow rate through the system happens when the flow is constricted at the smallest area. For example, a nozzle that can change its area is useful to maximize the mass flow rate. Such type of region where maximum mass flow rate occurs is called as the throat of the nozzle.
