Differences Between vw and vh
Viewport Width (vw) is a relative unit that scales according to 1% of the width of the viewport. Viewport Height (vh) is a relative unit that scales according to 1% of the height of the viewport. vw units are useful for scalable and responsive design based on width, while vh units are based on height.
Advantages of Using vw
Using vw units allows for better scalability and flexibility in web design. Since vw is relative to the width of the viewport, it enables elements to scale proportionally to the viewport size. This is useful for responsive design and for creating layouts that adapt to different screen sizes.
How to Convert vw to vh
To convert vw to vh, you need to know the width and height of the viewport. The formula for conversion is:
vh = vw * (viewport width / viewport height)
For example, to convert 2vw to vh, assuming the viewport width is 1920px and the viewport height is 1080px:
2vw * (1920px / 1080px) = 3.5556vh
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I use vw instead of vh?
Using vw allows for more scalable and flexible layouts, improving the responsiveness and adaptability of your design across different screen sizes, especially in width-based designs.
How do I set the viewport width and height?
The viewport dimensions are determined by the user's device and browser window size. You can use CSS media queries to adjust your layout based on different viewport dimensions.
Can I use vw for all elements?
Yes, you can use vw for most elements to ensure consistency and scalability across different screen sizes.
