What are CSS gradients?
CSS gradients blend colors smoothly across a background. Two types:
Linear — color changes along a line (e.g., left to right).
Radial — color changes from center outward (circular).
Linear gradient syntax
`css
background: linear-gradient(90deg, #FF5733 0%, #FFC300 100%);
`
Parameters: - Angle — 90deg (left-to-right), 180deg (top-to-bottom), etc. - Color stops — colors and their position (0%, 50%, 100%).
Radial gradient syntax
`css
background: radial-gradient(circle, #FF5733 0%, #FFC300 100%);
`
Parameters: - Shape — circle or ellipse. - Color stops — same as linear.
