Elements

id: String (hex), The id (or 'hash') of the Block
size : Integer, The size of the Block in bytes
height : Integer, The height of the Block in the Blockchain
version: Integer, The encoding version used by the network for this Block
merkel_root: String (hex), The merkel root used to verify the integrity of the Block data
time: Integer (Unix epoch), The time the Block claims to have been broadcast to the network
time_display: String (ISO 8601 date), The time the Block claims to have been broadcast to the network
nonce: Integer, The nonce added to the Block data to create the magic hash value

output_value_fiat_now: String. A representation of the Approximate value of the output_value payment in the specified fiat currency
output_value_disp: String, A 'display friendly' representation of the output_value value (in full coins)
fees: Integer, A summation of all the fees from all the Transactions in the Block (in satoshies). Excludes the coinbase reward
fees_fiat_now: String. A representation of the Approximate value of the fees payment in the specified fiat currency

total_satoshies: Integer, the number of satoshies in existence
total_seconds: Integer, the age of the network in seconds
satoshi_seconds: Integer, The number of satoshies multiplied by their age in this Block
total_satoshi_seconds: Integer, The number of satoshies multiplied by their age in existence ,
destroyed_satoshi_seconds: Integer, The number of satoshi_seconds 'used up' in this Block,
transactions: Array of Transactions. Based on the query showtxn=1 or showtxnio=1 parameters you get different levels of Transaction detail
