The tenor clef is just a C clef one line higher than the alto clef. It is the most common clef for higher parts in instruments that normally play in the bass clef, such as celli, bassoons, or trombones (very high parts, especially for the cello, will still be written in treble clef of course).
There are lots of different clefs in theory, although today only bass, alto, tenor, and treble clefs are widely used (but traditionally every singing voice was written with their own clef for their register, which is why they still have names such as "bass", "alto", and "tenor").
