A bubble chart is a human-made data visualization technique that encodes three numeric variables simultaneously: two variables map to Cartesian x and y positions, and a third variable maps to the area of a circle (bubble) placed at that position. It extends the scatter plot by adding a third dimension through bubble sizing, enabling comparison of magnitude alongside positional relationships across datasets used in economics, demographics, and scientific analysis. The persistence mechanism is graphic rendering through charting libraries and visualization software, maintained by standard conventions for bubble-size scaling and axis labeling.
