Python Bubble Chart allows you to display 3 dimensional data. Instead of plotting just two variables (x & y) that defines the position of the datapoint, Bubble Chart lets you add a third variable (z-value) to define relative size of the bubble. Bubble charts are useful in explaining complex data easily.

Python Scatter Charts represent data as a series of points over the axis coordinates. Hence they are also referred to as Point Charts / Scatter Plot.
