Space required for different data types

My DBA is not able to tell me how many bytes Oracle uses to store its
different data types.


Does anyone know?



Also,  is the date data type variable length? For example, does Oracle use
the same space whether or not you store only date and not time or only time
and not date?



Thanks in advance for your help.
