Explanation of the different parts:

Margin - Clears an area around the border. The margin does not have a background color, it is completely transparent

Border - A border that goes around the padding and content. The border is inherited from the color property of the box

Padding - Clears an area around the content. The padding is affected by the background color of the box

Content - The content of the box, where text and images appear
