What is the default padding and/or margin for a p element (reset css)?
The CSS 2.1 specification has an default style sheet for HTML 4. It’s just informative and not normative so browsers may use it but do not have to.
Another resource could be the webdeveloper tools of the browsers. Most can show you the cascade of rules that were applied to a particular element. An example: Firefox and Safari (WebKit) seem to use margin: 1em 0px
for p
elements.
What is the default margin value of p tag?
Different Browsers are build upon different render engines.
Chrome and Safari are using the WebKit-render engine whereas Firefox uses Gecko.
The different engines are different not just because the software is different but also because they have different settings. Thats why most webpages look slightly different in differnt browsers.
The Answer:
In Chrome (webkit) the margin-top (above the element) and margin-bottom (below the element) of the <p>
tag is 1em.
In Firefox (Gecko) all margins are 0 except the margin-bottom wich is 1em again.
The way to get rid of this problem is to make a CSS-reset.

Do HTML Headings (h1 - h6) have a default padding in any browser?
Headings by default have a padding of 0. However, by default an H1 for example
has a top and bottommargin: .67em;
. These top-bottom margins grow all the way to 2.33em for an H6. So for each heading, the top and bottom margins gradually increase by default.
Check out this helpful article by W3Schools which is insightful when discussing the defaults for all HTML elements.
So to answer your question. Yes, the padding: 0;
is unnecessary. However, the margin: 0;
will change the default top and bottom margins.

Removing body margin in CSS
I would say that using:
* {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
is a bad way of solving this.
The reason for the h1 margin popping out of the parent is that the parent does not have a padding.
If you add a padding to the parent element of the h1, the margin will be inside the parent.
Resetting all paddings and margins to 0 can cause a lot of side effects. Then it's better to remove margin-top for this specific headline.
How to reset margin-bottom to its default value
I think the property you're looking for is unset
.
unset
resets the property to its inherited value if it inherits from its parent or to its initial value if not.

how to remove whitespace in css from title
Adding margin-bottom: 0
to the title class will do the job. the reason for that is because margins are used to create space around elements, outside of the defined borders so setting it to 0 will eliminate that extra gap.
the <p>
tag has a default css property of margin-block-end: 1em;
which is causing that extra gap you see.
.title{
grid-template-areas:"image" "title"
}
