Bar length represents bytes. The physical sizes of devices are schematic; encoding and compression affect file sizes.
A little perspective
100 bytes is about 1.25 times the serialized header size of a Bitcoin block header.

Bitcoin block header
Serialized header size: 80 B; definition.
The serialized Bitcoin block header is defined as 80 bytes. This excludes transactions, network framing and any display encoding.
