CSS Links
A link has four different states — link, visited, active and hover. These four states of a link or hyperlink can be styled differently through CSS properties using the pseudo-classes of anchor element, depending on what state they are in.

a:link — unvisited hyperlinks.

a:visited — visited hyperlinks.

a:hover — hover link when the user place the mouse pointer over it.

a:active — active link  is the process of currently clicking.
