Here the external style sheet is used to style the document
It is performed using the following tag inside "head" tag of document using "link" tag.
Example
Here rel is the relationship of the external file which is linking to the document and type indicates the type of external file linking to it and the href is the target url of the file.
Embedded Style
Here the style is written in the same document rather linking to other external file.
The style can be written either in the "head" section or "body" section of the document.
It uses the style tag to specify the style which has the closing and opening style tag.
