A bar chart is a type of graph that uses horizontal bars to compare different categories or groups.

Each bar represents a category, and the length of the bar shows the value or amount — the longer the bar, the higher the value.

Bar charts are great for showing comparisons, like sales by region, number of tasks completed per person, or survey results.
