explain Meta description

A meta description is a brief summary of the content of a webpage that appears in search engine results pages (SERPs) below the page title and URL. It is a HTML tag that provides a concise and informative description of the webpage's content, usually consisting of 150-160 characters. The meta description is important for search engine optimization (SEO) as it can influence whether a user clicks through to the webpage or not. A well-written meta description can increase the click-through rate (CTR) and improve the visibility of the webpage in search results.
