In written music, it gets divided up by vertical lines. These sections are called measures, or bars. Most common is 4 beats / measure, but there are other styles as well. So 16 bars = 16 measures

it's a pattern, 16 bars is the length of that pattern, usually the length of the verse. So you get a verse that is 16 bars long each time and it's most often repeated.
12 bars is common more common, but 16 bars can also be used.

Bars = measures. In many pop or rock songs you have meter patterns of four beats to the measure. 16 bars give you an average section legnth. In blues, the section is 12 bars.

to make it simple a bar is just a line in a verse. 16 bars is the length of one measure.
