Media Query Error

I do not know what is wrong with my code. The exercise asks to set the h1 font size to 5 rem and when I check the work it won't let me go on and asks if I specified the right size for the font in h1.

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

@media (max-width: 1020px) {
  .main-header {
    background-color: tomato;
    color: white;
  }
}

@media (max-width: 768px) {
  .title {
    font-size: 1.4rem;
  }
  .h1 {
    font-size: 5rem;
  }
}
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Lake Tahoe</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="page.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
  </head>
  <body> 
    <header id="top" class="main-header">
      <span class="title">Journey Through the Sierra Nevada Mountains</span>
      <h1 class="main-heading">Lake Tahoe, California</h1>
    </header>

        <div class="primary-content">
            <p class="intro">
                Lake Tahoe is one of the most breathtaking attractions located in California. It's home to a number of ski resorts, summer outdoor recreation, and tourist attractions. Snow and skiing are a significant part of the area's reputation.
            </p>
            <a class="callout" href="#more">Find out more</a>
        </div><!-- End .primary-content -->
  </body>

Hi Henrik, can you help look at this code. Am having similar challenges. system is not recognize font-size: 1.4rem @media (max-width: 1020px) { .main-header { background-color: tomato; color: white; }

@media (max-width: 768px){ .title { font-size: 1.4rem; }

h1 {
  font-size: 5rem;
}

Olusoji Ojerinde, I think the problem might be because you've forgot the close your first @media (and you forgot to close the second @media too) with a }

Other than that it looks okay, but this should work:

@media screen and (max-width: 1020px) {
  .main-header {
    background: tomato;
    color: white;
  }
}

@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
  .title {
    font-size: 1.4rem;
  }
  h1 {
    font-size: 5rem;
  }
}
