Explanation:

That depends on the language.

For example, á and à indicate tone (rising and falling, respectively) in the Pinyin transcription of Chinese.

In Italian, à indicates irregular stress; in French, it merely distinguishes homonyms in writing (e.g. à ‘to’ from a ‘has’) but has no influence on pronunciation.

ă could be a short vowel when writing Latin; it’s an obscure, shwa-like vowel when writing Romanian.

ą is a nasal vowel in Polish; a formerly nasalised (now usually simply long) vowel in Lithuanian.

â is often a long vowel in French, typically where a historical -s- was dropped; in Romanian, it’s a centralised vowel.

And so on.

Basically, these diacritics are a way to extend the alphabet for languages that have more sounds than the 26 in the alphabet we inherited from the Romans.

I'll answer for couple of them.

Ä/ä is umlaut, meaning that it makes the [ɑ] sound a front vowel [æ]. It represents slightly different vowels in different languages: in German and many Swedish variants it's [ɛ], in Finland Swedish [e] and in Finnish and Estonian [æ] to name a few examples. These two dots work similarly for other back vowels, too: ö is [ø] or [œ] and ü is [y]. Another usage of these dots is to mark the syllable border like in an elf name Eärendil by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Å/å usually means [o] sound. It's used in Swedish and Norwegian orthography to mark the [o] sound. In my country Finland, it is called Swedish O because we have it on our keyboards but don't need it when writing Finnish.

In some languages ~ means nasal vowels. In Estonian the letter õ means [ɤ] vowel.
