What is the CSS Box Model?
HTML elements are rendered as rectangular boxes on a web page. Each element has its content area, padding, border, and margin.
- The padding is the area between the content and the border, which can be used to add space between the content and the border;
- The border surrounds the element. By default, the border width is
0. Also, if we do not specify the border color, the border takes the color of the content; - The margin is the space between the border and other elements on the page.

Note
By default, some elements have predetermined
paddingandmarginproperties. It was made to ensure that a web page will be readable even without any styles.
width and height Properties
width and height properties are used to define the size of an element. The width and height of an element can vary depending on the type of box model.
index.html
styles.css
It is also important to mention that for most elements, having only the width property is often sufficient, as the height will be determined automatically. This helps avoid overflow problems when the content's width or height is less than the content inside.
