Bar charts and histograms may look alike, but they have different uses.

Bar Charts:

• Show different categories of information.
• Each bar stands for one specific category.
• The bars are spaced apart to show that these categories are separate.

Histograms:

• Show continuous data, which means data that flows and doesn’t have clear categories.
• They display how often data falls within certain ranges (called bins).
• The bars touch each other to show that the data is connected.

Knowing these differences can help you understand and make graphs better!
