| 📱 Phone World | 🌐 Internet World |
|---|---|
| Contact Name (Rahul) | Domain Name (google.com) |
| Phone Number (98765...) | IP Address (142.250...) |
| Phone Book / Contacts App | DNS Server |
| You (the caller) | Browser / User |
| Mobile Network | Internet |
DNS is the internet's phone book. You type a name (google.com), DNS finds the number (142.250.183.14). Just like your contacts app converts "Rahul" into his phone number.
