You can only make a stacked bar graph if one of the groups is always smaller than the other.

Otherwise one bar might go right over the other one.

The above disadvantage does not apply to stacked bars where the bar for each variable is stacked on top of other bars. The main disadvantage is that it becomes increasingly difficult to see changes in all but the variable that is at the bottom of the stack (and so has a fixed bottom line).

How is a stacked bar different from other bar graph?

In a normal bar graph, each bar represents one value. In a stacked bar graph, each bar has a number of values, stacked on top of each other. So a bar can show how a total is broken down. So each bar could represent a year, with the amounts for each month indicated by different parts of that one bar.
