You can have as many rows as you like in a table; just make sure that the number of
cells are the same in each row.
Note: There are times when a row can have less or more cells than another. You will
learn about that in a later chapter.
Table Headers
Sometimes you want your cells to be table header cells. In those cases use the <th> tag
instead of the <td> tag:
th stands for table header.
Example
Let the first row be table header cells:
<table>
<tr>
<th>Person 1</th>
