What does Run on Sentence exactly mean? Can someone explain the concept of run on sentences with few examples?

a sentence with two independent clauses is run-on sentence. for ex:

UPA's got it. If you connect two independent clauses (complete sentences) with nothing other than a comma, you've got a run-on sentence.
