How to remove empty space above the header and on each side?

Question

Here is my HTML code

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Document</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="./style.css">
</head>
<body>
    <header>
        <div>KK</div>
    </header>
</body>
</html>

Here is the css code:

html{
    margin: 0;
    font-size: 20px;
}
div{
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}
header{
    background-color: cornsilk;
    width: 100%;
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;

}

I used zero padding and zero margin everywhere as I heard that header by default has indentations. But nothing seems to work( thank you for your answers in advance!!

Just set padding and margin to 0 on the html and body elements. — Mark Baijens, Nov 22 '20 at 12:51

Problem was solved by adding to the css code

body{margin:0}

Your <body> has a default margin of 8 pixels. just add to the CSS code:

body{
    margin: 0;
}

Even better would be:

* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
