What is EM?

EM is a relative CSS unit that scales based on the parent element's font size, making it highly context-dependent. By default, 1em equals the parent element's font-size value, creating a cascading effect through nested elements. While EM offers flexibility for component-level scaling, its cascading nature can make it unpredictable compared to REM in complex layouts.

What is PX?

Pixels (px) are an absolute CSS unit representing a single dot on screen, normatively defined as 1/96th of an inch. They are commonly used for precise element sizing in web design. However, pixels can create accessibility issues as they don't scale with user browser preferences, making them less ideal for responsive typography.
