8 bits = 1 byte.

thats an awful answer! HERE IS ANOTHER ANSWER; HOPE THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR! If you mean ASCII characters then 8 bits can store one ASCII character (may also depend on processor, prog language, etc), for example, the decimal value for A is 65 in ASCII which equates to 01000001 in binary where each 0 or 1 is represented by a single bit

A byte is 8 bits. A bit is ether a 1 or 0 in binary code. So very very little.
