Default How many points is line spacing 'single'?

I have a question regarding line spacing. By 'line spacing' I mean the thing described as line spacing in this picture:

(If line spacing does not mean that, then what does it mean?)

Let's take an example: font=Times New Roman, font size=12 (i.e. 12 points). Now, how many points high is line spacing when line spacing in Word has the value SINGLE?
I suppose it is 12 + leading. But what is the default height of leading in Word, and has this changed in different versions of Word.
