The right graph makes the point for you.
Compare: bars.
Bars compare amounts side by side.
Over time: lines.
A line shows how something changed from one point to the next.
Parts and pairs.
A pie shows parts of a whole; a scatter shows how two numbers relate, the first column across and the others up.
