A bar chart is an arrangement of bars of different lengths to represent values, laid out horizontally. They are typically used to graphically illustrate the different values in a spreadsheet, and how they compare to other related values. Different bars are different colours and can be labelled to show what they correspond to. You can also have groups of bars of similar kinds, so the the same colour may be repeated in sets. You can also have stacked bar charts, where different parts of one bar are made up of different colours, to show how much the contribute to a total. See the links below for examples.

So say you had sales for four different regions for each month of the year. For each month there would be four bars. Those four bars would be all together, touching. There would be a gap between each month. So the sets of four bars would be clustered for each month.
