Welcome flyingfrancisco!
Several kinds of units exist in the game. Cavalry are fast, line infantry types are a little slower and heavy artillery are among the slowest. So the tooltip explains how quickly a stack with these units will move through a region. A huge cavalry stack with one single heavy cannon is going to move at the speed of the heavy guns. Cohesion and leader activation also affect the number of days it takes. So two outwardly identical stacks may move at different rates because of these factors.
The tutorial may help acquaint you with some of the game mechanics, but a lot of us just learn by doing. Good luck!
