Can someone explain a battery grip?

Can someone explain to me the purpose of a battery grip for a Nikon D90? Does it give you longer battery life or something.

Yes and it is easier to hold if you shoot in vertical orientation.

Thanks. It just occurred to me that I didn't even check B&H or anything to read reviews and descriptions which would have told me what I wanted to know.
