Margin Values
- Pixels (px): The most common unit, specifying a fixed number of pixels.
- Percentage (%): The margin is calculated as a percentage of the containing element’s width (for horizontal margins) or height (for vertical margins).
- Other units: Less common units like em, rem, vh, and vw can also be used for relative sizing.
- Auto: The browser calculates a suitable margin size, often used for centering elements.
