Are SSH and Bash the same? (Spoiler: No)

The thing is: when you start to run some console commands you notice that all the things you write in that place are not the same. Simple to understand, difficult to order each part in your head.

I wondered at that time, What is the difference between SSH and Bash? This question was answered in this quora thread: What is the difference between SSH, Bash, and Linux terminal, and PuTTY? 

In Wikipedia’s  Secure Shell article, you can read: “SSH provides a secure channel over an unsecured network by using client-server architecture, connecting an SSH client application with an SSH server”. Therefore (To sum up) SSH is a protocol to communicate a client and a server

On the other hand, bash. Is a shell that allows you to communicate with the operating system.

So, what confuses me when I started was that I connect via ssh to another machine (the server or whatever), and in that machine, I executed bash commands. but I didn’t do it on my computer, I did it on the server
