HTTP URL in your browser's address bar is HTTP:// and the HTTPS URL is HTTPS://. HTTP sends data over port 80 while HTTPS uses port 443. HTTP operates at the application layer, while HTTPS operates at the transport layer

Instead of HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), this website uses HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). Using HTTPS, the computers agree on a "code" between them, and then they scramble the messages using that "code" so that no one in between can read them. This keeps your information safe from hackers.
