In CSS, the `margin` property is used to control the space outside of an element's border. It allows you to create spacing between elements on a webpage.
Here's how you can use the `margin` property:
```css
element {
margin: 10px; /* Equal margin on all sides */
}
```
You can also specify different values for each side of the element (top, right, bottom, left):
```css
element {
margin: 10px 20px 15px 30px; /* Top, right, bottom, left */
}
```
You can provide two values to apply the same margin for top and bottom, and the same margin for right and left:
```css
element {
margin: 5px 15px; /* Top and bottom: 5px, Right and left: 15px */
}
```
If you want to set margins for individual sides, you can use the `margin-top`, `margin-right`, `margin-bottom`, and `margin-left` properties:
```css
element {
margin-top: 10px;
margin-right: 20px;
margin-bottom: 15px;
margin-left: 30px;
}
```
Negative margin values can also be used to create overlapping elements or adjust positioning.
Remember that margins collapse when adjacent elements have margins applied. This means that the larger margin value will take effect, and the smaller one will be ignored.
Margins are a powerful tool for controlling spacing and layout in CSS, helping you achieve the desired design and arrangement of elements on your webpage.
