CSS clear Property
The clear property is directly related to floats. The clear property is used to specify whether an element should be next to floating elements or it should be below them (clear).
We can apply the clear property to both floating and non-floating elements. This property has four values: none, left, right, and both. "None" is the default value. It allows floating elements on both sides. "Left" value does not allow any floating element on the left side. "Right" value does not allow any floating element on the right side. "Both" value does not allow any floating element on either the left or right side.
