A byte (8 bits) is significant because it holds one character of information. For example, one uppercase A or lowercase n, or a decimal digit. There are other characters like commas, spaces, etc. Each can be contained in one byte.
Least Significant Bit. Least Significant Byte. (Depends on use.)
Big-endian byte ordering in Motorola microprocessors is significant because it determines the way data is stored in memory. In big-endian systems, the most significant byte of a multi-byte data is stored at the lowest memory address, which can impact data manipulation and communication with other systems.
MSB represents Most Significant Bit.
Both little and big endian are still in use today. In big endian the most significant byte is the smallest address stored. In little endian the least significant byte is the smallest address stored.
The eighth bit in a byte is commonly referred to as the "most significant bit" (MSB) when considering the byte's role in representing values. In binary representation, the MSB is the leftmost bit and determines the sign of the number in signed binary formats. In contexts where the byte is used for character encoding, it may also be called the "high bit."

I believe you meant difference between a bit and a byte. A byte is 8 bits.
BCD:A byte (unpacked) representation of a decimal digit in the range0 through9. Unpacked decimal numbers are stored as unsigned byte quantities. Onedigit is stored in each byte. The magnitude of the number is determined fromthe low-order half-byte; hexadecimal values 0-9 are valid and areinterpreted as decimal numbers. The high-order half-byte must be zero formultiplication and division; it may contain any value for addition andsubtraction.Packed BCD:A byte (packed) representation of two decimal digits, each in the range0 through 9. One digit is stored in each half-byte. The digit in thehigh-order half-byte is the most significant. Values 0-9 are valid in eachhalf-byte. The range of a packed decimal byte is 0-99.
There are two nibbles in a byte.
Eight bits are in one byte
