Hi Jonathan welcome.

Normalize.css is what is called a CSS reset file and you'd include that file in your HTML before any other CSS file.

What this does is resets all CSS values to 0 or a default setting to give you a level playing field when you're designing. This is because different browsers render CSS a little differently. It's like browsers speaking in different vocal accents. Just the same but a little bit different. Normalize takes away those inconstancies. Hope this helps :)
