Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -DNS, or the Domain Name System, translates human readable domain names (for example, www.amazon.com) to machine readable IP addresses (for example, 192.0.2.44).

Detailed explanation-2: -The domain name system (i.e., “DNS”) is responsible for translating domain names into a specific IP address so that the initiating client can load the requested Internet resources. The domain name system works much like a phone book where users can search for a requested person and retrieve their phone number.

Detailed explanation-3: -DNS keeps the record of all domain names and the associated IP addresses. When you type in a URL in your browser, DNS resolves the domain name into an IP address. In other words, DNS is a service that maps domain names to corresponding IP addresses.

Detailed explanation-4: -DNS, which stands for Domain Name System, maps domain name into Internet Protocol (IP) address. Hence, the DNS maps the IP addresses to a hierarchy of domain names.

Detailed explanation-5: -DNS servers convert URLs and domain names into IP addresses that computers can understand and use. They translate what a user types into a browser into something the machine can use to find a webpage. This process of translation and lookup is called DNS resolution.
