CSS comments are not displayed in the browser, but they can help document your source code.
CSS Comments
Comments are used to explain the code, and may help when you edit the source code at a later date.

HTML and CSS Comments
From the HTML tutorial, you learned that you can add comments to your HTML source by using the
<!--...--> syntax.
In the following example, we use a combination of HTML and CSS comments:
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
p {
color: red; /* Set
text color to red */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h2>My
Heading</h2>
<!-- These paragraphs will be red -->
<p>Hello
World!</p>
<p>This paragraph is styled with CSS.</p>
<p>CSS comments are
not shown in the output.</p>
</body>
</html>
