How can I get help on terminal commands?

I am new to Ubuntu. I have come from windows and when using Ubuntu I feel pretty dumb. I copy-paste lots of command from internet but most of the time I don't know what's going on. An experience that I didn't have with windows. Unlike windows it seems in Ubuntu one cannot get away without using command-line or terminal. Ubuntu 50% of the time feels like a black box to me. I don't feel like in control. I want to get rid of this uncomfortable feeling and that's why I am interested in learning about basic working of this operating system.
Please suggest some material and guidelines that is cover-able in 1-2 weeks, so that I can have a reasonable understanding of the operating system. Thank you

It's interesting that you "Felt in control" with Windows and not so with Ubuntu. Windows does so many things in the background that you have absolutely no control over. Can you cite an example of this?

@EODCraftStaff It has little to do with my knowledge than the design of the system, I guess. In windows you click on objects , sometimes you have to read readme files but it doesn’t typically demand high technical knowledge of the system but in ubuntu it appears to me that to even do basic stuffs you need to know more (i.e it has stiffer learning curve for basic stuffs). Windows unlike Ubuntu never motivated me to know what goes under the hood of operating system.. which is a good thing I guess. :)
