In the music system our notes are laid out as:
A B C D E F G A etc
If you look at a piano their are white keys which are the ABC's and series of 2 black keys and 3 black keys...they are the sharps # and flats b (more on this later).
There is a black keys between all the white keys except between B and C and between E and F.
So:
A to B is a whole step because they are 2 notes/keys apart and on the guitar they are 2 frets apart. There is a black key between them.
B to C is a half step because they are only 1 note/key apart and on the guitar they are next to one another. There is no black key between them.
C to D is a whole step because they are 2 notes/keys apart and on the guitar they are 2 frets apart. There is a black key between them.
D to E is a whole step because they are 2 notes/keys apart and on the guitar they are 2 frets apart. There is a black key between them.
E to F is a half step because they are only 1 note/key apart and on the guitar they are next to one another. There is no black key between them.
F to G is a whole step because they are 2 notes/keys apart and on the guitar they are 2 frets apart. There is a black key between them.
G to A is a whole step because they are 2 notes/keys apart and on the guitar they are 2 frets apart. There is a black key between them.
