CSS border properties allow us to set the style, color, and width of the border.
CSS outline property allows us to draw a line around the element, outside the border.
Differences:
Unlike borders, outlines don’t allow us to set each edge to a different width, or set different colors and styles for each edge. An outline is the same on all sides.
Outlines cannot be circular.
Outlines do not take up space, because they are always placed on top of the box of the element.
