CSS Box Model

THE BOX MODEL:
- Height : default: 0 / height of the content; 
- Width : the width that element needs, pushes other elements to side
- Margin : Outside space of an element that pushes other things away from the element
- Padding : Inside space of an element that pushes elements away from the border.
- Border : Outline for an element, outside the element eg.(300px*300px) add border: 303px*303px
