On step 9 of [Learn CSS Transforms by Building a Penguin] it was asked to set the position of the .ground element to absolute. Ok. Next it was added a div.penguin on top of the div.ground in the html. Then for some reason the .ground stays below the the .penguin as if it had a position set to stactic.
I tried googling it but I don’t know to word it. Shouldn’t the .ground element get out of the “flow” and position itself on the top-left corner of the body?

If you don’t set a top/left/bottom/right on an absolutely positioned element it still behaves as a static element. This course never sets any of those positions on this element. In fact, at the end it uses a negative margin top to move it up a little instead of using absolute positioning. I think the only reason it is set to absolute positioning is to use
