CSS Grid Columns, Rows and Gaps
CSS Grid Columns
The vertical lines of grid items are called columns.
Grid Rows
The horizontal lines of grid items are called rows.
Grid Gaps
The spaces between each column/row are called gaps.
You can adjust the gap size by using one of the following properties:
The CSS column-gap Property
The column-gap property specifies the gap
between the columns in a grid.
Example
Specify a 50 pixels gap between the columns in the grid:
.container {
display: grid;

}

between the rows in a grid.
