Answer
Server components run on the server where browser globals do not exist, making window or document unavailable.
Quick Answer
Server Components run in a Node.js environment on the server — they have no access to the browser's global APIs (window, document, navigator, localStorage). They execute before the page reaches the browser. Any browser-specific code must live in Client Components (marked with "use client") that run after hydration.
