The [meta](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/63662/a-comprehensive-guide-to-a-phd-thesis-meta-analysis-know-why-and-how) tag describes the metadata of the HTML document. Metadata is additional information about a document in various ways.

The <meta> tag in an HTML document specifies additional information about the document. Meta elements can be used to include name/value pairs describing attributes of an HTML document, such as author, expiration date, list of keywords, document author, etc.

The <meta> [tags](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/33868/difference-between-html-elements-and-tags) are used to provide additional information such as the information they provide to the HTML document within its attributes.

You can include one or more meta tags in your document, depending on what information you want to contain in your document, but in general, meta tags do not affect the physical appearance of the document, so from an appearance standpoint. From, it doesn't matter whether you include them or not.
