Chapter 1: Understanding the box model

The CSS3 box model is a fundamental concept that describes how elements are rendered and how their size and spacing are calculated in CSS. It consists of four layers or components: content, padding, border, and margin. Understanding the box model is crucial for controlling the layout and spacing of elements on a web page. Let's explore each component in detail:

Content

The content area represents the actual content or text inside an element. It has a width and height that can be explicitly set using CSS properties like width and height. By default, the content area does not include padding, border, or margin.

Padding

Padding is the space between the content area and the element's border. It helps create space around the content without affecting the element's overall size. Padding can be set using properties like padding-top, padding-right, padding-bottom, and padding-left. The padding value can be specified in pixels, percentages, or other length units.
