A letter is stored in binary on a computer. The word summer in binary is written as: 011100110111010101101101011011010110010101110010. That's 48 digits. There are 8 bits in 1 byte, thus 48/8 = 6. So 6 bytes are used to store summer.

On modern computers, each character in the English alphabet is represented by a byte. Therefore the word SUMMER takes up 6 bytes of memory.
