They have some differences: * Margin is outer space of an element, while Padding is inner space of an element. * Margin is the space outside the border of an element, while Padding is the space that is inside the border of it. * Margin can be value auto: margin: auto, but you can't give Padding the value of auto. * Margin can give value of positive or negative (or zero), otherwise, Padding must be positive (or zero). * In navigation bars or anchors (links) and other tags, Padding is a part of element that accepts changes. When you style an element, changes not happens to Margin, but the space that Padding has created will be change. Tip: You can see these differences on some tags that you use to control other tags; like div and span, or section and article. Also is good to see changes in navigation bars.
