Battery Draw - Need Advice on What Meter Numbers Mean

So I'm no electrician but I know a little bit. Here's the deal...

My battery is drawing down and killing my battery over about 5 days. So today I pulled out the multimeter, set it to "10", and connected it to the battery and battery lead. This is what the results were:

- With no fuses pulled, I had a 0.02 draw.
- With no fuses pulled and the door open, I had a 1.01 draw.
- When I pulled the ACC fuse, I had a 0.01 draw.
- When I pulled all other fuses, I still had the 0.01 draw.
- When I disconnected the radio with all fuses in, I had a 0.01 (radio does not work)

Can you guys tell me if the 0.02 is enough to draw down the battery over 5 days? Also, what is the 0.02 and what is is equal to in volts?

I need to hit wikipedia to learn the difference between amps, watts, volts, ohms.

Thanks
