White space refers to any empty or blank space in a design, document, or layout. It can be an intentional design element or simply the absence of content or clutter. White space helps to improve readability, comprehension, and visual appeal by creating a balanced and organized layout. It provides a breathing room between elements, enhances focus, and guides the viewer's attention to the important parts of the design. White space can be in the form of margins, padding, gutters, line spacing, or any empty area on a page.
