Media queries are a CSS language feature which allow an author to conditionally apply CSS rules according to characteristics of the device or window in which an application is being viewed. Most commonly, these might be according to the viewport width allowing CSS authors to create components and layouts that are responsive to the size of the window or device that they are being viewed in. But this may also extend to whether a user prefers light or dark mode, or even a user's accessibility preferences, plus many more properties.
