Answer 1

URL : This is a abbreviation of the word , Uniform Resource Locator,

the global address of documents and other resources on the World Wide Web.

The first part of the address indicates what protocol to use, and the second part specifies the IP address or the domain name where the resource is located.

For example, the two URLs below point to two different files at the domain pcwebopedia.com. The first specifies an executable file that should be fetched using the FTP protocol; the second specifies a Web page that should be fetched using the HTTP protocol:

ftp://www.pcwebopedia.com/stuff.exe
http://www.pcwebopedia.com/index.html

Answer 2

A Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a string of characters conforming to a standardized format, which refers to a resource on the Internet (such as a document or an image) by its location.

For example, the URL of this page on Wikipedia is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Locator.
An HTTP URL, commonly called a web address, is usually shown in the address bar of a web browser.

The term is typically pronounced as either a spelled-out initialism ("yoo arr ell") or as an acronym (earl or ural).

Tim Berners-Lee created the URL in 1991 to allow the publishing of hyperlinks on the World Wide Web, a fundamental innovation in the history of the Internet. Since 1994, the URL has been subsumed into the more general Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), but URL is still a widely used term.

The U in URL has always stood for Uniform, but it is sometimes described as Universal, perhaps because URI did mean Universal Resource Identifier before RFC 2396.
