CSS is a way to describe the “style” of a web page, namely, the colors, fonts, layout, and other presentation aspects of the document. A single CSS file can describe a common “style” to be applied to many HTML, XHTML, and XML documents (which describe the content and structure of the elements of each document). Typically a particular element in an HTML page has a “cascade” of CSS style rules that can be applied to it. The highest priority style rule is applied to each element. CSS is a very powerful tool that gives a web designer great power over their site if used properly. For example, if you are writing a large website, you can have a consistent display presentation for every title, sub-title, paragraph, text, etc. Here is an excellent, free textbook that will show you how to use and program with CSS, the CSS Programming Wikibook.
