Some Beginners do have issue of understanding the difference between px , em and rem and they get confuse. Well, honestly This also happened with me:).I want to share it in a very easy simple way maybe somebody will get benefit from it.
px:
px is an absolute unit. Changing value of another element does not effect the value of absolute units.
It's a kind of fixed value.
em:
em unit is relative to the font-size of the element being styled. This is also effected by inherited values from the parent until it is overridden by a px unit which is not subject to inheritance.
rem:
rem unit is relative to the font-size of root(html) element. It mean's that only if you make changes in root element then rem will be changed. It's not effected by inherited values from the parent.
