The CSS dimensions are used to define the size and positioning of HTML elements on a webpage.

There are several types of dimensions in CSS, including width, height, min-width, min-height, max-width, max-height, and more

Let's explore each CSS dimensions type in details below.

Width and Height

The width property sets the width of an element, and the height property sets the height.

We can specify values using different units such as pixels (px), percentages (%), em, rem, etc.

Min-width and Min-height

The min-width property sets the minimum width an element can have, and the min-height property sets the minimum height.

The element will expand if the content inside requires more space.

Max-width and Max-height

The max-width property sets the maximum width an element can have, and the max-height property sets the maximum height.

If the content inside the element exceeds these limits, it will be automatically truncated or resized.
