Not sure how to use clearfix, have tried couple of times.

I am working on the final project for unit 2 and there are probably many things wrong with my code, but for now i would like to know how to make sure the footer and header aren't entirely consuming the main 

html {
    font-family: monospace;
}

header {
    background-color: rgb(248, 248, 248);
    font-family: Arial;
    padding: 20px 0px;
}

body {
    margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; 
}

footer {
    background-color: rgb(248, 248, 248);
    padding: 20px 0px;
}



/* -------- Navigation Bar -------- */



.nav-bar li {
    font-family: bold, Arial;
    background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
    padding: 10px 0px;
    margin: 5px 5%;
    width: 90%;


}

.nav-main {
    padding: none;
    margin: none;
}


.nav-bar {
    width: 100%;
    padding: 0px;
    text-align: center;
    list-style:  none;
    font-weight: bold;

}



/* -------- Links and Link Settings -------- */



a {
    text-decoration: none;
    color: inherit;
}

a :active {
    text-decoration: none;
}



/* -------- General Text info -------- */



h1 {
    text-align: center;
    padding: 10px 0px 10px 0px;
    margin: 0;

}

h2 {
    text-align: center;
    padding-top: 10px;
    padding-bottom: 10px;
    margin: 30px 0px;
}

h3 {
    text-align: center;
    padding-top: 10px;
    padding-bottom: 10px;
    margin: 25px 0px;

}

p {
    text-align: center;
    padding: 15px 15px;
    color: rgb(99, 99, 99);
    font-size: 1rem;
}



/* -------- Class/ID --------- */



.profile {
    width: 70%;
    margin: 10px 15%;
}


img {
    width: 80%;
    margin: 0px 10%;

}

.intro {
    font-weight: normal;
    padding-bottom: 15px;
}



/* -------- Media -------- */



@media (min-width: 321PX) {

    p {
      font-size: 2.0rem;  
    }

    .nav-bar {
    margin: 0px;
    }

    .nav-bar li {
    display: inline;
    margin: 0px 10px;
    background-color: rgb(248, 248, 248);
    }

    .img {
        width: 20%;
    }

    section {
        width: 50%;
        float: left;
    }

}

while using this exact code the main is practically non existent

When posting code to the forum, use Markdown formatting to preserve the appearance, or share the entire workspace by making a snapshot and posting the link to it.

It's also helpful to provide a link the course page you are working with.
