When you request a page your computer sends out a request to the website which in translated into an http request to the hosts ip address so when you type in the address this will translate into an ip address then if the reply is true the download of data off that website begins in form of temporary files and cookies, then the user sees the date and can interact with it because of the many web languages, html, java and so on.
Hope this gives you a pretty good idea. Try pinging www.google.com it will give you the address of one of their servers.
Happy Thanksgiving!
