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 VW?
Viewport Width (vw) is a relative CSS unit where 1vw equals 1% of the browser viewport's width. This unit scales automatically as the viewport changes, making it ideal for responsive typography and fluid layouts. VW units are particularly useful for creating designs that adapt seamlessly across different screen sizes without media queries.
