What are media queries in css?

I searched on internet for creating different webpages on different resolutions like desktop, smartphone, etc. but landed on media queries. I want to know how to use it. I just don't want the code as it in available in w3schools also. I want a guide to help me understand it as it is not available in sololearn course.

a media query gets the viewport from the device. so you can adjust content according to the device screen size. its basically whats allows responsive design in css.
