External CSS – using a <link> element to link to an external CSS file
It is used when the style is applied to many pages. To use an external CSS, add a link to it in the <head> section of each HTML page.
Example:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle.css" />
</head>

Internal or Embedded CSS – using <style> element in the <head> section
It requires you to add <style> tag in the <head> section of the HTML document. It is most suited for styling a single page that has a unique style. However, using this style for multiple pages is time-consuming as CSS rules need to be added to every page of the website.
Example:
<head>
<style>
body {
background-color: black;
}
h1 {
color: red;
padding: 50px;
}
</style>
</head>

Inline CSS – using the style attribute inside HTML elements
Inline CSS is used for styling small contexts. It contains the CSS property in the body section attached to the element. The style attribute is used in the relevant tag to use inline styles added.
Example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body style="background-color:white;">
<h1 style="color:red;">A Red Heading</h1>
<p style="color:blue;">A blue paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
