What is a histogram?

A histogram is a set of rectangles (bars or columns) that shows a distribution of numerical variables over a scale divided into bins. Each rectangle represents the accumulated value (a range) of the given bin.
 
A histogram is a type of chart that resembles a bar or a column chart. But for the visual distinction between a histogram and a bar chart, it’s customary not to leave gaps (or to make them very small) between rectangles in a histogram to show the continuous nature of the variables used in the visualization. the columns have different heights because they correspond to the frequency of each group - meaning, how many items fall in a certain range.
