So I applied clear:left to a div and tried changing its top margin but it did not affect anything. Here is the code:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>
  <title>Float</title>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <style>
    .div1 {
      border: 2px solid black;
      float: left;
    }
    
    .div2 {
      clear: left;
      border: 2px solid red;
      width: 120px;
      height: 120px;
      margin-top: 320px; /* Why is margin not working?*/
    }
  </style>
</head>

<body>
  <div class="div1">This is suppose to be a first div</div>
  <div class="div2">Div2</div>
</body>

</html>

Here is the result :

Now the problem is that the result is same even if I add or remove the top margin. It would be great if you can show me the right answer and also explain why this is happening.

Use of one container like this :

<div class="con" style="overflow: hidden">
    <div class="div1">This is suppose to be a first div</div>
</div>


.div1 {
    border: 2px solid black;
    float: left;
}
        
.div2 {
    border: 2px solid red;
    width: 120px;
    height: 120px;
    margin-top: 100px;
}
<div class="con" style="overflow: hidden">
    <div class="div1">This is suppose to be a first div</div>
</div>
<div class="div2">Div2</div>
