Explanation:

This HTML document demonstrates the use of a media query in CSS to change the background color of the body based on the width of the viewport.
CSS comments are added to explain each section of the code.
The initial background color of the body is set to #3300FF.
The @media rule is used to define a media query for screens with a minimum width of 400px.
Within the media query, the background color of the body is changed to #00FFFF for screens wider than 400px.
Users can resize the browser window to observe the effect of the media query on the background color.
