Delta is a measure of the sensitivity of an option’s price changes relative to the changes in the underlying asset’s price. In other words, if the price of the underlying asset increases by 1 points, the price of the option will change by delta amount.
As the options become ITM, the value of delta tends towards +1 for call and -1 for put.
Delta is important greeks to determine the hedge ratio for investors who want to hedge their portfolio.
Gamma (Γ) is a measure of the delta’s change relative to the changes in the price of the underlying asset.
If the price of the underlying asset increases by 1 points, the option’s delta will change by the gamma amount.
Long options (call/put) have positive Gamma.
Think like this, Delta is basically the velocity and gamma is acceleration as taught in the physics.
Vega (ν) is an option Greek that measures the sensitivity of an option price relative to the volatility of the underlying asset. If the volatility of the underlying asset increases by 1%, the option price will change by the vega amount.
Rising vega is a friend of option buyers and falling vega is a friend of option sellers.
Rho (ρ) measures the sensitivity of the option price relative to interest rates and it is least significant Option Greeks because option price are less sensitive to interest rate. If an interest rate increases by 1%, the option price will change by the rho amount.
Similarly, if the interest rate decrease, then the value of the call option will fall and the value of the put option will rise.
Theta (θ) is a measure of the sensitivity of the option price relative to the option’s time to maturity. If the option’s time to maturity decreases by one day, the option’s price will change by the theta amount.
Also, the value of the option for far expiry will be more than near expiry as it has more time left for expiry.
For me, the most important Greeks are Theta and Vega, as I am an option seller.

The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.
The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.
