These terms are fairly intuitive. External means outside. Internal means inside. Fertilization occurs when the male gamete (sperm) meets the female gamete (egg).

External fertilization is fertilization that occurs outside the body, whereas internal fertilization is fertilization that occurs inside the body (usually the body of the female).
