**Magic variables** in Ansible contain information about the target hosts and can be useful in certain situations. It's important to note that magic variables are internal variables within Ansible. They should not be confused with Ansible facts. The main distinction between them is that magic variables do not require enabling `gather_facts` at the beginning of an Ansible playbook, unlike Ansible facts.

Learn about Ansible magic variables, which are internal variables that we can use in our Ansible code.
