The position property in CSS specifies how an element is positioned in a document.

It plays a crucial role in controlling layout, layering, and behavior of elements.

• static – Default position (normal document flow)
• relative – Offset from original position
• absolute – Positioned relative to nearest positioned ancestor
• fixed – Fixed to viewport, unaffected by scroll
• sticky – Switches between relative and fixed on scroll

This is the default position. Elements appear in normal document flow.

Moves element relative to its normal position without affecting siblings.

Removes element from flow and positions it relative to nearest positioned ancestor.

Element is fixed to viewport and stays in place during scroll.

Element toggles between relative and fixed based on scroll position.
