Box Modal in CSS

The CSS Box Model is a fundamental concept that describes the rectangular boxes generated for elements in the document tree and how their size and placement are determined.

 It consists of the content area, padding, border, and margin.

Components of the CSS Box Model

  1. Content: The actual content of the box, where text and images appear.
  2. Padding: The space between the content and the border, which can have different values on each side.
  3. Border: The area around the padding, which can also have different styles and widths.
  4. Margin: The space outside the border, which separates the element from other elements.
