Bits, go back to when binary code was in function. If you don't know what binary code is... al give you an example.
0100000101000110 ect ect
a bit, is described as 1 digit in a binary equation. so if something was 4 bit, it would have 4 digits of binary code.
0100
1000
0010
0001
0101
ect...
So if some is described as 8 bit... it basically means that processor has 8 digits in the binary equation.
Now why does the number of digits matter ?
Binary, was a really old was of processing scripts or codes... when you refer to 8 bit game consoles, they normally have pix-elated graphics and were not too technological in game play. This is because 8 bits is a fairly small digit, and the amount of different codes you can make is only small. Now we have 32bit and 64bit computers. This makes the possibility of the amount of codes to process endless. Making computers to be alot more advanced in how much it can do.

What are one byte letters?
1 byte = 8 bits. Computers only know two things. On (1) and off (0). This is known as binary. Computers use an 8bit binary system (00000000). The American Standrad Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) is an international code that notices that an 8bit character ASCI covers everything that you can type on a keyboard. Therefore a 1byte letter is A to Z.
