why it's not in the center if you comment out the height? Because the body height = height of the elements that are inside of it

If you want the body to be the whole height you want to use min-height instead so if content were to be bigger than the screen height it will na able to scroll

it all depends on your project sometimes you need it sometimes you don't and as @z- ::theProblemSolver:: said use min-height instead if you need to

it should be a min-height if you set anything, your content + padding should make up the size. putting heights creates problems, and fixed heights create migraines. were you to add more content to this page, enough that you had to scroll down to see the rest and had a fixed-height of 100vh on your body, all your content would overflow
