Rule of thirds is the 9 square grid which can be found on cameras & is used to take good photos.
Rule of thirds is when a picture is broken down into thirds (hence the 9 square grid) & this is down in both horizontal, you can do this using the grid on a camera or using your imagination.
When taking an picture without the grid you can imagine it whilst looking through the viewfinder or the screen which shows you the shot after you have taken the picture. With the grid in use you can use the corners where the lines meet to get the key four important parts of the image to be captured to take a fantastic photo, these are the key points of interest as well. This well help you position your photo as well as help you in taking your photo.
You place points of the photo in the line meetings or along the lines so that your photo is balanced & better to look at for the people who will view the photo. According to science people eyes tend to be drawn towards the line meetings rather than the centre where most people think the interest will be.
Using the rule of thirds will make pictures look more professional & better to look at. However, if you break the rule of thirds sometimes you will get some better photos & other times you won't.
It also helps if you keep the rule of thirds in mind when editing because you can ruin a photo by not.
Here is an example of rule of thirds:

Here is an example of rule of thirds:
- This photo comes into the rule of thirds as the head of the person closest it to the camera is in the line intersection, this is where the lines (vertical & horizontal) meet.
- There is also use of depth of field as at another intersection in the background there is some people given the viewer some more interest.
