CSS — Box Model

The CSS box model explains how every element on a webpage is like a rectangular box. This box is made up of four main parts: Content, Padding, Border, and Margin. The content is the actual text or image inside the element. Padding is the space between the content and the border. The border surrounds the padding and content, acting like a frame. The margin is the space outside the border that separates the element from other elements on the page. Understanding the box model is important for controlling spacing and layout. For example, if you want to create a card with space inside it, you can increase the padding. If you want space between two cards, you can increase the margin. Learning how to use these properties properly will help you create well-structured designs that look balanced and neat.

div { margin: 10px; padding: 15px; border: 1px solid #888; }
