Are all URLs encrypted when using TLS/SSL (HTTPS) encryption? I would like to know because I want all URL data to be hidden when using TLS/SSL (HTTPS).
If TLS/SSL gives you total URL encryption then I don't have to worry about hiding confidential information from URLs.

HTTP is not encrypted in any way. Any network sniffer that can sniff the packets between the HTTP client and server (most network adapters support a promiscuous mode for this purpose) can view the HTTP data. HTTPS data, on the other hand, is HTTP data that is encrypted with SSL/TLS.
HTTPS is HTTP with TLS encryption. HTTPS uses TLS (SSL) to encrypt normal HTTP requests and responses, making it safer and more secure.
Strictly speaking, HTTPS is not a separate protocol, but refers to the use of ordinary HTTP over an encrypted SSL/TLS connection. HTTPS encrypts all message contents, including the HTTP headers and the request/response data.
Yes, the SSL connection is between the TCP layer and the HTTP layer. The client and server first establish a secure encrypted TCP connection (via the SSL/TLS protocol) and then the client will send the HTTP request (GET, POST, DELETE...) over that encrypted TCP connection.
