Bible Question (short): definition of "atonement" and "reconcili

Question (full): I apologize in advance for my ignorance. I think this is basic knowledge but, I really don't have a full understanding. Could someone please give me a definition of what atonement means? Does it mean something like payment for our sins? Does reconciliation mean to be able to have a relationship with God, to be able to draw near to him? (2 questions) Thank you!
