% - percent of the page px - pixels If you write <hr width=60% /> it will make a horizontal line with the width of 60% of the page. If you write <hr width=90px> it will make a horizontal line with the width of 90 pixels. P.S. If you don't understand something just try it in the code playground. https://imgur.com/a/T04oo - Dumitru If this answer has helped you, give it a upvote by pressing the button that looks like an thumbs up (like).

in the case of % and PX. different pages like for phone and computer resolutions or display size was different. so if we use PX then it will result only to that pixel only. but in the case of % it will show the adjusted size of the computer or pc
