a bit is like a switch which can only be 1(on) or 0(off) (it's actually higher current and lower current) and a byte is a set of 8 bits, from which computers can understand what to do

A bit is smaller than a byte. A byte is 8 bits of memory. A bit is 1 space of memory.

bits is a smallest storage in computer as it stores only as 0 or 1 for eg. in a chip electric charge =0/1. whereas group of 8 bit makes 1 bytes for eg . one byte can store one character as ( 'A' etc..)

A bit is the smallest unit of information and a byte is 8 bits put together. Look up binary and machine language to learn more about that.
