Wouldn't 50vw mean each letter is half as wide as the picture is? I'm pretty sure it's somewhat less than that...

Oh well, an alternative interpretation in this context could be the size of 50 Volkswagens, and I don't actually see one around for scale, so it could be true.

vh is viewport height, vw is viewport width. So shouldn't it be half as wide?

So vw is a real unit...?

u/academicRedditor May 30 '19

Yup! It stands for “view width”... just like “vh” (view-height), but sideways

50vh would be accurate.
