I don't understand the @media query

HTML-CSS

Tell us what’s happening:
Create a media query for screens smaller than 800px in width. In that media query, create a #gallery img rule and set the width property to 50% . This will convert your gallery to a two-column layout.

You’re off to a good start. Media queries are enclosed in curly braces, so you’ll want to add an opening and closing curly brace after the selector. Then, inside the curly braces you add the other CSS rulesets you want to include in the media query.
