Ul not disappearing please advice

In the following code, I am trying to practice a drop down menu.I want the "Third" to appear below the "Second" whenever I hover on the "Second". For that, I have used the famous technique of ul li:hover > ul {display: block;} but it does not seems to be working. The "Third" is permanently hidden and does not pops up on hovering. Could someone please advice as to where I am wrong?

code:

body {
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
}
ul {
  background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);
  color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 1);
  /* [disabled]display: inline-block; */
  text-align: center;
  height: auto;
  position: relative;
  width: 50%;
  margin-right: auto;
  margin-left: auto;
}
ul li {
  display: inline-block;
  border: 1px solid #000;
  list-style-type: none;
  text-align: center;
  margin-right: 10px;
  margin-left: 10px;
}
ul ul {
  display: none;
}
ul li:hover > ul {
  display: block;
}
<ul>
  <li>First</li>
  <li>Second</li>
  <ul>
    <li>Third</li>
  </ul>
</ul>

You 2nd ul should be inside li to make it work.

body {
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;    
}

ul {
  background-color: rgba(0,0,0,1);
  color: rgba(255,0,0,1);
  list-style: none;
  /* [disabled]display: inline-block; */
  text-align: center;
  height: auto;
  position: relative;
  width: 50%;
  margin-right: auto;
  margin-left: auto;
}

.nav > li {
  display: inline-block;
  border: 1px solid #000;
  list-style-type: none;
  position: relative;
  text-align: center;
  margin-right: 10px;
  margin-left: 10px;
}

.nav ul {
  position: absolute;
  text-align: left;
  padding: 0 10px;
  display: none;
  width: 150px;
  top: 100%;
  left: 0;
}

ul li:hover > ul {display: block;}
<ul class="nav">
  <li> First </li>
  <li> Second
    <ul>
      <li> Third </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

Your drop down menu should be child of li so your html must be like this

body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;    
}

ul {
background-color: rgba(0,0,0,1);
color: rgba(255,0,0,1);
/* [disabled]display: inline-block; */
text-align: center;
height: auto;
position: relative;
width: 50%;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
}

ul li {
display: inline-block;
border: 1px solid #000;
list-style-type: none;
text-align: center;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-left: 10px;
}

ul ul {
display: none;
}

ul li:hover > ul {display: block;}
<ul>
  <li> First </li>
  <li> 
    Second
    <ul>
      <li> Third </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

You have invalid HTML because ul > ul is not valid. Move you inner ul to li of Second:

body {
  height: 100%;
  width: 100%;
}
ul {
  background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 1);
  color: rgba(255, 0, 0, 1);
  /* [disabled]display: inline-block; */
  text-align: center;
  height: auto;
  position: relative;
  width: 50%;
  margin-right: auto;
  margin-left: auto;
}
ul li {
  display: inline-block;
  border: 1px solid #000;
  list-style-type: none;
  text-align: center;
  margin-right: 10px;
  margin-left: 10px;
}
ul ul {
  display: none;
}
ul li:hover > ul {
  display: block;
}
<ul>
  <li>First</li>
  <li>Second

    <ul>
      <li>Third</li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>
