Can someone provide an explanation on why that is and maybe give an website on where you found it and How come in histograms the bars connect but not in the bar graphs?

Bar graphs are used for qualitative or discrete [quantitative] data. Values between the bar categories are not possible an to emphasise that, the bars have gaps between them. Conversely, histograms are used for continuous data and so the values on the "category" axis form a continuum. To illustrate this, the bars touch on another. I learned this well before the internet was widely available so did not need a website.
