Understanding Intrinsic and Extrinsic Sizing in CSS

In CSS, understanding intrinsic and extrinsic sizing is crucial. Extrinsic sizing defines a pre-defined box size where content needs to fit, like placing a landscape photo inside a 200x200 pixel box. In contrast, intrinsic sizing allows elements to determine their own space requirements, adjusting dynamically to content changes. This concept impacts how layouts are designed and adapted, making it a fundamental aspect of CSS.
