RAR is the native format of WinRAR archiver. Like other archives, RAR files are data containers, they store one or several files in the compressed form. After you downloaded RAR file from Internet, you need to unpack its contents in order to use it.

A zip file. Look for and download the program "winrar". It will be able to open the file. Most other "zip" programs can also. If not, trying changing the extension to zip instead of rar and you may be able to open it.
