The position property in CSS specifies the type of positioning method used for an element. It determines how an element is positioned on a web page, and how it behaves when the page is scrolled or resized.

There are four types of position values in CSS:

1. static: This is the default position value for all elements, and it means that the element is positioned according to the normal flow of the page. It cannot be moved using the top, bottom, left, or right properties.

2. relative: This value positions the element relative to its normal position on the page. The element can be moved using the top, bottom, left, or right properties, but it will not affect the position of other elements on the page.

3. absolute: This value positions the element relative to its nearest positioned ancestor, or to the initial containing block if there is no positioned ancestor. The element can be moved using the top, bottom, left, or right properties, and it can overlap other elements on the page.

4. fixed: This value positions the element relative to the browser window, and it remains in the same position even when the page is scrolled. The element can be moved using the top, bottom, left, or right properties, and it can overlap other elements on the page.

In addition to these position values, there is also a sticky value that is similar to relative, but it behaves like fixed when the element reaches a certain scroll position. However, sticky is not yet widely supported by all browsers.
