Maybe you mean Bit(binary digit) in binary, that is the 1's and 0's, a binary digit, whether its one or zero is one Bit of information. so 11101001 has 8 bits. 8 bits = 1 byte 1024Byts= 1 megabyte(MB) 1024MB= 1gigabyte(GB) 1024GB = 1 terabyte(TB) the reason 1024 is used in the multiples and not 1000 is because of the fact that it all starts with 8 bits which make a byte and it would take exactly 128 bytes to make a megabyte. So it doesn't follow the normal system of counting but rather results multiplying every time by 2. 8 x 2 = 16, 16 x 2 = 32, all the way up to 1024. It makes it easy for the engineers and computer scientists.

A byte is a single character - pretty much any character you see on your screen is a byte eg a, b and so on.
A bit (I'm assuming you meant that rather than bite) forms part of a byte - there are 8 bits in each byte and a bit can be either a 1 or a 0 - bits are binary.
So the character (or byte) a - would be represented by 8 bits like so : 11001011.
Ok, the above is just a random example ... the binary for a is probably different - I just needed to illustrate. ;)

Bite is what a dog does. A byte is 8 bits.

Hi. They are pronounced the same but bite is what you do to food and byte is 8 bits.

A bite is a wound received from the mouth (and in particular, the teeth) of an animal or person
In computer science a byte is a unit of measurement of information storage

bite is a verb it is used to define the action of animals where they use their teeth to chew on other things may it be in use of defence or food.
byte is a unit of computer memory where i byte= 8 bits
1 kilo byte=1024 bytes
1 mega byte=1024 kilo bytes and so on...
hope that helps

To further confuse you:
bit is an abbrev. for binary digit
4 bits = 1 nibble. No kidding
2 nibbles = 1 byte
2 bytes = 1 word (or halfword, depends on manuf)
2 words = 1 double word, or longword.
2 dw = 1 quadword
2 qw = 1 hexword
I doubt anyone, except those like me, ever heard of the last 2. I taught computer hardware, long before you were born

in thing your question is difference between the bit and byte
bit =it is binary digit of 0 or 1
byte = 8 bit

bite means binary digit either a 1 or a 0
bytes means 8 bit eg 1010 1100

One is something you do with teeth, the other is a unit of data size.
