The simple definition of out of phase is a condition where two alternating voltages do not have peaks and troughs occurring at the same instant. If we consider the sine wave of the AC power grid, the voltage varies with time, and it traces a sine wave on a graph or oscilloscope. It has positive and negative peaks, and if another AC sine wave (of the same frequency and amplitude) is compared to it, we can check the phase difference.
If we use a oscilloscope, which is basically an electronic graphing machine, we can put the two signals in on different channels and see both simultaneously. When we comepare them by overlaying them, if both waves appear as one, they are in phase. Positive and negative peaks will be happening in each wave at the same instant, and just a single sine wave will appear on the scope display. If any phase shift is present, the other wave will be visible. Both waves will appear and can be distinguished.
There are a number of different applications where phase shift is a critical consideration. Phase differences must be taken into account when bringing generators online, to cite one example. Significant differences in phase can cause tremendous damage to equipment that is paralleled (connected) at the wrong time.
