I am working a project on my favorite science stories animated using HTML. While I was working on it By just changing the position
to fixed
or nothing position of all my objects was changing. If you remove the position
property from #Guy
, you will notice that the image of Galileo will shift drastically. I just want to know why this happens.

P.S.
The link for the image of Galileo is https://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/109/590x/galileo-galilei-819977.jpg and the stick figure was made in Paint 3D
position: fixed
takes the element out of the document flow and places it in relation to the viewport/window. Usually that also causes this element to overlap other elements. The other elements however will be rearranged in a way like the fixed element wouldn't be there (it's not in the document flow). So adding/removing position: fixed
to/from an element will have all these effects on the overall document.
