HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is a widely accepted web-design language.

HTML is responsible for the construction, and the total output, of a page.

 

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is another widely-accepted web-design language.

Unlike HTML, CSS does not "create" anything. Instead, it decorates, aligns, and positions (etc) elements in HTML. In a nutshell, CSS takes the normal HTML output and adds a few rules to how it's actually displayed.

Simply put:

Consider HTML as a car without its color and other fancy things that is added to the car, but CSS on the other hand is like a color that a car gets.

From technical point of view:

CSS is all about the appearance of a site (Presentation Layer). Conversely, HTML refers to the content itself not the appearance(Content Layer).

As per w3C layered infrastructure. There are4 different layers

1) Content Layer

2) Presentation Layer

3) Usability Layer

4) Code Layer

 

Conclusively, HTML is the content layer without presentation. However CSS is presentation without content
