Question: 1 / 400

What do you call the space around an element, including its borders?

Margin

The space around an element, including its borders, is referred to as "margin." Margins create distance between an element and other elements on the page, providing a clear space that helps in layout structuring. This space is outside the element's border and serves to separate elements from one another, enhancing visual presentation.

Padding, on the other hand, refers to the space between the content of an element and its border, while the border is the line that surrounds the padding. The term "gap" typically applies to space between grid items in CSS Grid Layout or spaces in certain flexbox arrangements, but it does not describe the general space surrounding an element. Thus, margin specifically delineates the outermost space around an element's border.
