Isn't the height and width of<body> element same as the viewport's height and width?

not necessarily. browsers often apply a default margin or padding, so the body width is actually smaller than the viewport width. and the height is 0 if the body is empty. that's why we often use css reset to start everything at a predictable default. https://sololearn.com/compiler-playground/WXmhoUrJJolF/?ref=app
