Describe your suggestion
Basically what the title says. The lesson introduces the term 'stacking context' and gives a brief example of when one is formed. However there is no explanation as to what a stacking context is, so I think the example isn't very helpful. I know there is an assignment regarding stacking contexts, but I think if the term is mentioned in the lesson it's worth giving a brief definition to readers.
Additionally, when a reader clicks on What is the stacking context? in the knowledge check section, they are brought to a MDN doc that wasn't assigned. Looking at the commit history, it looks like the MDN doc on stacking contexts was originally an assignment til it was replaced by https://www.joshwcomeau.com/css/stacking-contexts/. Might be worth changing this link to the assignment for consistency.

Sorry! Right after making this issues I went away and this issue completely slipped my mind somehow. I haven't started on the PR but I can get to work. I have a basic idea layed out, just need to research a couple gotchas in regards to stacking contexts and I can get a PR up. If there's any other plans w/ this lessons that the issue is blocking lmk and I can speed it up/unassign myself.
@JackBogart I am going to open this PR up for others to complete. Feel free to post here if you still want this.
Hi, Could I be assigned this, please? I will add brief explanation/definition for what "stacking context" is and also update the link in the assignment section to match that in the knowledge check section.
