glNormal?

Can someone tell me what exactly does glNormal do, what does it affect, and how is it used? Thanks.
glnormal specify the normal,orthogonal perpendicolar or whatever you want to call it for you polygon.
it affect most lighting ,clipping and can be used for collision

I knew that 
So basically for every triangle I draw I should specify glNormal? What if I don''t specify it, can you tell me exactly what differences I''m gonna have?

Normals are used for lighting. If you use lighting, you must specify normals. If you don''t specify them, they''ll be lit incorrectly (if at all).
Hope that helps,

if you don''t calculate the normal for every polygon when you enable lighting the model appear as 2d!
