The dialog returned by show-command gives you an instruction on what parameters are supported.
The symbol "*" suggests that this parameter is demanded while getting the related results.
Detailed information on the Get-SPSite command can be found in this document: Get-SPSite.

Please see the sample commands and explaination below:

1. AllSitesInWebApplication: Can be used to return sites in a provided web application
   Get-SPWebApplication " http://intranet.crescent.com" | Get-SPSite | Select URL
