The Difference Between The Internet and World Wide Web

The Internet is a massive network of interconnected computer networks that connects millions of devices globally. Information travels over the Internet using various protocols. The World Wide Web is one way of accessing and sharing information over the Internet using browsers. It uses the HTTP protocol to transmit data and links web pages together through hyperlinks. While the Web relies on the Internet as its underlying infrastructure, it represents just one portion of the total Internet, which includes other information services like email, file transfers, and network newsgroups that use different protocols.
