css - Are "top" and "to top" the same direction for linear gradients?

Question

Browser implementations of linear-gradient() have evolved to support both top and to top as anchor values. Are they the same direction or opposites?

Answer 1

They are opposites. to top uses the first color argument at the bottom of the element, while top uses the first color argument at the top.
