When we did add the + label so why it isn't effecting all the adjacent label, they all are siblings we it just did change the font-weight of the just next one

1 Answer

It's not affecting all siblings because you're using the + combinator, which is the Adjacent sibling combinator. This means that it matches the second element only if it immediately follows the first element. Example: h2 + p will match all <p> elements that immediately follows <h2> element.
