Difference between display:none and visibility:hidden

The display property helps us to specify the display behavior of an element.

Difference between display:none and visibility:hidden

We can hide elements using both properties but there is a difference between them.

Let's say we have three balls in red, green and blue color.

Css code

If I set display:none for the green ball.

#green {
  background-color:green;
  width: 150px;
  height: 150px;
  border-radius: 50%;
  display: none;
}

Now, our green ball is removed, but it still exists on HTML structure and display:none property makes it look like deleted. The blue ball moved up and took the green ball place.

Let's see what happen when we set visibility:hidden for the same green ball.

#green {
  background-color:green;
  width: 150px;
  height: 150px;
  border-radius: 50%;
  visibility: hidden;
}

visbility:hidden property does not remove the green ball, makes it invisible
