Under the hood, does CSS Hover use collision detection?

Answer 1

CSS hover does not really use collision detection. CSS hover is a style that allows you to change the appearance of an element when the user hovers over it with their mouse. It doesn't involve collision detection in the sense of checking for overlap or interaction with other elements on the page.

The hover effect is only triggered when the user moves their cursor over the specified element, and the associated styles are applied. It's a purely visual change and doesn't involve detecting collisions or interactions with other elements. If you need collision detection, you might need to use JavaScript or other programming languages to achieve that functionality.
