Explain all the measurement units in CSS3?
% - Defines a measurement as a percentage relative to another value, typically an enclosing element.cm Defines a measurement in centimeters. div {margin-bottom: 2cm;}

em - A relative measurement for the height of a font in em spaces. Because an em unit is equivalent to the size of a given font, if you assign a font to 12pt, each "em" unit would be 12pt; thus, 2em would be 24pt.

ex - This value defines a measurement relative to a font's x-height. The x-height is determined by the height of the font's lowercase letter x.

in - Defines a measurement in inches.

mm - Defines a measurement in millimeters.

pc - Defines a measurement in picas. A pica is equivalent to 12 points; thus, there are 6 picas per inch.
