Research & Define CSS Terms

• Specificity is how the browser decides which CSS property to render by means of a ranking system based on the type and number of selectors used.
• In the case where two selectors carry the same weight, precedence means the browser will display the selector that is closest to the html element.
• Inheritance means that a child element will inherit the CSS styles of its parent as long as a different selector isn’t applied to the child element.
• The selector identifies the HTML element to be styled. In the rule "color: red", "color" is the property; it dictates which aspect of the selector will be changed visually. "Red" is the value; it is what the chosen CSS property will be changed to.
