Acute inflammation of the nose essentially that's what common cold is but specifically it is a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract so the upper respiratory tract is the respiratory tract above the larynx.

They're all viruses because this is a viral infection so there are more than 200 viruses that can cause the cold the number one category of viruses that cause the common cold are the rhinoviruses and there are over 100 serotypes of rhinoviruses.
Rhino viruses are the cause of the common cold that they are approximately almost 1/3 to 1/2 of cases so 30 to 50 percent of all cases of the common cold is caused by rhinoviruses.
Within one to three days of picking up a cold virus, you'll get symptoms like:

Runny nose.
Headache.
Sore throat.
