T
he outermost section of the box model is the margin, which represents the space between
elements on the page. CSS contains five properties for setting margins: margin-top, margin-right, margin-bottom, and margin-left let you set each side individually, whereas the
margin property is a shortcut for setting all four margins together. This shortcut property can take
a single value to set all four margins. You can also provide two values, where the first applies to the
top and bottom and the second to the left and right, or four values, where the first sets the top, the
second the right, the third the bottom, and the fourth the left.
