Why doesn't my external .css file work?

So, i have a pretty easy html and css file right now, but i can't seem to make it work. I have a folder called "css" where i saved my style.css file. html code https://code.sololearn.com/WQ1LbJQeEK2Z css code https://code.sololearn.com/WsG80f14VCG9 I'm using sublime ide, if that is relevant. Thank you.

It is in the same folder. I have a folder called "html". In that folder is my index.html and the css folder. html - index.html - css (folder) - style.css

I see no h1 tag in the html file to style it , so you have to fix the html file first , add the body tag add h1 tag inside the body after that check if that works
