Url is the address like

Http://similarworlds.com

Normally start http://

So if on a pc use the mouse to highlight it. Hold down left button as you drag mouse along the line. Once highlighted easiest way to Copy is ctrl - c. Hold ctrl key down and hit c whilst it is down.

Now go to new tab in browser. Put your cursor in address bar at top. Hold ctrl down again and hit v key.
@SW-User what about on a phone? Theres none of that like on a computer

@MushroomFaerie ok

Double tab on the address. It should highlight part of it the drag beginning and end pointers to highlight all of it. Then there should be an option to copy. Hit that

Scroll to very top of page in browser there should be an address bar. Tap and hold on that should get a circle with an x in it on the right. Hit that it'll clear the address there already.

Then press and hold in blank bar now. Option to paste will come up. That's how android works for me

Other comments are right on the practical side and that may be enough.
Technically, the URL is, in an abreviated text, the representation of the "coordinates" of an indexed "map" of the Web.
It tells to your Internet browser where to go.
Technically it's

A uniform resource locator (URL) is the address of a resource on the Internet. A URL indicates the location of a resource as well as the protocol used to access it.
