Hello friends,
I would like to know,
What is external style sheet?

Internal and in-line style sheets are stored within the HTML file itself. They're easy to work with in the moment but because they aren't stored in a central location, it's impossible to easily make changes to the styling across the whole website at once; you have to instead go back into each entry and change it manually.

An External Style Sheet is a file containing only CSS syntax (no document content or elements) and should carry a MIME type of "text/css." The style information is not explicitly tied directly to the document's elements, so Selector syntax is used to specify what styles attach to which portions of the document tree.

There are there ways you can use css in your html.

- Inline: You put css code into a html line by using the html tag style within body [eg: <p style="color:#000;">eg</p>]
- Internal: You write your css class and their attribute into head of the html page and call that class into the html tag under body where you need

[eg:
<head>
.cls{color:#000;}
</head>
Now use this class into html tag under body:
<p class="cls">eg</p>
]
- External: You create a new .css file and write your class & it's attribute within that and call that .css file into head of the html page and use that class into any html tag under body element.

[Example:
you create a .css file file called example.css
write the css class within this file .cls{color:#000;}
Now into html file, you need to call the css file
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="example.css">
</head>
Now under body
<p class="cls">eg</p>
]

From the all three example, the output will be the same.

Hope all clear now!

The external style sheet can be linked from HTML pages. When using an external style sheet, styles need to be set up only once for each element.
Thanks for this post.

An External style sheet is a file containing only CSS syntax (no document content or elements) and will carry a MIME kind of "text/css." the style data isn't explicitly tied on to the document's elements, therefore Selector syntax is used to specify what styles attach to which parts of the document tree.

An external stylesheet is a standalone .css file that is linked from a web page. The advantage of external stylesheets is that it can be created once and the rules applied to multiple web pages. Should you need to make widespread changes to your site design, you can make a single change in the stylesheet and it will be applied to all linked pages, saving time and effort.

An internal stylesheet holds CSS rules for the page in the head section of the HTML file. The rules only apply to that page, but you can configure CSS classes and IDs that can be used to style multiple elements in the page code. Again, a single change to the CSS rule will apply to all tagged elements on the page.

Inline styles relate to a specific HTML tag, using a style attribute with a CSS rule to style a specific page element. They're useful for quick, permanent changes, but are less flexible than external and internal stylesheets as each inline style you create must be separately edited should you decide to make a design change.

An external style sheet is a separate file with a .css extension with all CSS style definitions for the HTML page(s). You give a reference to this file in the <link> tag inside the <head> in the HTML, as shown below:

<html>

  <head>

    <title>My webpage</title>

    <link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='mystyles.css'>

  </head>

  <body>

  <h1>My Webpage</h1>

  <p>Hello World! This is the first paragraph.</p>

  <p class='jazzy'>This is the second paragraph.</p>

  </body>

</html>
