What is IN?
Inches (in) are an absolute CSS unit representing physical inches, primarily used for print media. In web contexts, 1 inch equals 96 pixels based on the CSS specification. While rarely used for screen design, inches are essential for print stylesheets and ensuring accurate physical dimensions in printed documents.
What is %?
Percentage (%) is a relative CSS unit that scales based on the parent element's corresponding property value. For example, width: 50% means 50% of the parent's width, while font-size: 150% means 150% of the parent's font-size. Percentages are fundamental for creating flexible, responsive layouts that adapt to their containers.
