Css file:-
where
p = Selector (which indicate the rule to applies.the same rule apply more than one element if you separate the element name with commas.)

Three way to insert css
● External style sheet
● Internal style sheet
● Inline style
There are several ways in which styles can be applied:
Inline:
<h1 style="color:blue;margin-left:30px;">This is a heading.</h1>
Internal:
<head>
<style>
h1 {
color: maroon;
margin-left: 40px;
}
</style>
</head>
External/ Linked:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
External Style Sheet:
With an external style sheet, you can change the look of an entire website by changing just one file!
Each page must include a reference to the external style sheet file inside the <link> element. The <link> element goes inside the <head> section
Internal:
An internal style sheet may be used if one single page has a unique style. Internal styles are defined within the <style> element, inside the <head> section of an HTML page
Inline:
An inline style may be used to apply a unique style for a single element. To use inline styles, add the style attribute to the relevant element. The style attribute can contain any CSS property.
