All HTML elements can be regarded as boxes. In CSS, the term "box model" is used in design and layout.
The CSS box model is essentially a box that encapsulates surrounding HTML elements, including: margins, borders, padding, and the actual content.
The box model allows us to place elements in the space between other elements and the surrounding element's border.
The following picture illustrates the Box Model:
Explanation of the different parts:
Margin - Clear the border area. Margin has no background color, it is completely transparent
Border - the padding and content around the border. The border is affected by the background color of the box
Padding - clears the area around the content. Will be affected by the background color filled in the box
Content - the content of the box, displaying text and images
