Solution:

HTML Code:

<!DOCTYPE html><!-- Define document type as HTML -->
<html><!-- Begin HTML document -->
<head><!-- Start of document header -->
<meta charset="utf-8"><!-- Define character encoding -->
<title>How to define smaller 
text</title><!-- Title of the HTML page -->
</head><!-- End of document header -->
<body><!-- Start of document body -->
<p>w3resource is a free, open-source 
tutorial.</p><!-- Paragraph with regular-sized text -->
<p><small>you will learn with HTML5 
tutorial of w3resource.</small></p><!-- Paragraph with smaller text using the <small> tag -->
</body><!-- End of document body -->
</html><!-- End of HTML document -->

Explanation:

This HTML code defines a webpage with two paragraphs.
The first paragraph contains regular-sized text.
The second paragraph contains smaller text, achieved using the <small> tag.
The <small> tag is used to render text in a smaller font size, typically used for disclaimers, copyright notices, or secondary information.
By enclosing text within the <small> tag, the text inside it will be displayed in a smaller font size compared to the surrounding text.
