Help with .open (css)

I'm trying to understand what .open does. .open is not a class in the html file so what is it?

#calendar .ui-datepicker .ui-datepicker-calendar .ui-datepicker-current-day.open {
  margin-bottom: 100px;
}

I got the code from here https://codepen.io/tobiasglaus/pen/YaqJMz

Where there are spaces between the selectors, that means the one to the right is a child of the one to the left.

.parent-class .child-class {}

So the element could look like this:

<div class="parent-class">
   <div class ="child-class">
   </div>
</div>

When the period, pound/hash symbol is touching the other one, that means it's a further identifier of the same element.

.parent-class .child-class.2nd-class-on-same-child {}

So the element could look like this (notice the space between the classes in the second div below):

<div class="parent-class">
   <div class ="child-class 2nd-class-on-same-child">
   </div>
</div>
