                  Web Page

                  A web page is a document of information that can be accessed and viewed through a web browser. A
                  web page is generally contained in a website and constitutes as a source of information that floats on the
                  world wide web. The information is usually coded in HTML. Web pages may be retrieved from a local host
                  computer or a remote computer with the help of the Internet. Web pages are requested and served from
                  a web server using protocols like Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP).

































                  Web pages may consist of static pages (which are stored within a file system of a web server) and/or
                  dynamic pages (which contain files of a run-time nature i.e., which facilitate online data transformation).
                  Web pages may contain information in the form of text, images, pictures, sound, audio, video, etc.

                  HTML is used to publish web pages. A web page is designed by web developers with the help of markup
                  languages  like HTML.  It is not technically a  programming language  but  it was  developed  to create
                  electronic pages that could be displayed on the Internet.

                  Web Browser

                  A web browser is an application software that helps a user to navigate through different websites on the
                  Internet and display web pages. The user requests a page from a web server with the help of web browser.
                  After receiving the request through the web browser, the web server makes it available for a web browser
                  to display the page.
                  Web browsers can also display animated images, play sound and video, provide secure connections and
                  much more. Some common web browsers are ‘Internet Explorer’, ‘Mozilla Firefox’, ‘Opera’, ‘Apple Safari’,
                  ‘Google Chrome’, ‘Microsoft Edge’, ‘Lynx’ (Text only mode web browser), etc.
