The Menorah is a representation of the Menorah that stood in the temple. In the temple the Menorah had 7 branches.
Today's Hannukiyah has nine branches, one for each day of the festival of Hannukah and one extra.
When the Greeks were driven out of Israel and the Temple was re-purified, the Menorah was re-lit. There was only one small jug of oil left for the lighting, but that jug held out for eight days until more oil could be brought. For that reason we light candles every evening during Hannukah.
The first night we light one candle and the extra (which is usually set higher), on the second night plus the extra, and so on, so that on the last night all nine candles are burning.
