Best Answer

A bit is one binary unit - either a one or a zero.

A byte contains 8 bits. (so for example a byte would look like "10011011")

Half a byte (or 4 bits) is called a nibble, no kidding!

You mean 32-bit and 64-bit, not 32 byte and 64 byte. A byte is an aggregate of (usually) 8 bits. 32-bit programs will execute in a 64-bit environment without any modification. 64-bit programs can also execute in a 32-bit environment, but this requires emulation through a 64-bit virtual machine.
