I'm experimenting with a simple border box here, but the height of my box doesn't seem to be working as expected.
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
.div1 {
width: 500px;
height: 200px;
border: 5px solid #E18728;
float: left;
}
.div2 {
width: 90%;
height: 90%;
padding: 20%;
border: 4px solid black;
}<!DOCTYPE html>

<div class="div1">
<p>This is the parent! </p>
<div class="div2">
<p>This is the child</p>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>What could be causing this issue? The width appears to be fine, but the height within the box seems off. Why is this happening? I am new to CSS and I hope your responses can assist not only me but others too, as I have been unable to find solutions online. Thank you from France
