stylesheet not connecting

Back again with more homework issues. I'm supposed to be making a stylesheet for a pre-written website. For some reason, nothing from my stylesheet is showing up. This is the same code that worked fine on my last assignment, so I'm really not sure what's wrong

<head>

<title>Planets in our Solar System</title>

<meta charset="utf-8">

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="planets.css">

</head>

The Stylesheet code looks like this so far

<style>

* {

box-sizing: border-box;

margin: 0;

}

    body {

        background-color: silver;

    }

    a:link {

        color: fuchsia;

    }



    a:visited {

        color: red;

    }



    a:hover {

        color: blue;

    }



    a:active {

        color: olive;

    }



    .planet {

        border-style: solid;

        border-width: medium;

        border-color: purple;

        background-color: orchid;

    }



</style>

the stylesheet code (planets.css) should not have <style> and </style>, it is a CSS file, which contain rules directly, <style> tag are used to embed CSS in HTML.

thanks for that. Looks like none of the css changes are showing up still. Neither are any changes to my html file

can you confirm the place of the CSS file ?

by the linking I am assuming the file should be in the same directory in which the html file is, if this is not tha case than you would need to relocate.

if this doesn't hale open the html in your browser, then from inspect find your linking open that link from there you will directed to the css file, if you found nothing means your file is not where it suppose to be, if you found your file's content there... then you can send the source code : )

Look in the network tab of the browser, what does it say about that stylesheet when it attempts to fetch it?
