## Media Queries
CSS Media Queries are a feature in CSS 3 which allows you to specify when certain CSS rules should be applied, such as when printed, or when on a screen with certain dimensions or pixel density.
```css
/* A rule that will be used on all devices */
h1 {
font-size: 2em;
color: white;
background-color: black;
}
/* change the h1 to use less ink on a printer */
@media print {
h1 {
color: black;
background-color: white;
}
}
/* make the font bigger when shown on a screen at least 480px wide */
@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
h1 {
font-size: 3em;
font-weight: normal;
}
}
```
Media queries can include these features:
`width`, `height`, `device-width`, `device-height`, `orientation`, `aspect-ratio`, `device-aspect-ratio`, `color`, `color-index`, `monochrome`, `resolution`, `scan`, `grid`. Most of these features can be prefixed with `min-` or `max-`.
The `resolution` feature is not supported by older devices, instead use `device-pixel-ratio`.
Many smartphones and tablets will attempt to render the page as if it were on a desktop unless you provide a `viewport` meta-tag.
```html
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0">
</head>
```
## Compatibility
Most of the features in CSS 2 (and many in CSS 3) are available across all
