is it possible to combine css with php while loop and table

I'm wondering if it's possible in an easy way that when I use while function to call out a bunch of data and put them into table but I want to use css to make it one row with regular background and one row with light background.

hopefully what I sad make sense....

this is what I have

echo "<style type='text/css'>";
echo "th {background: #CEED5E;}";
echo "</style>";


echo "<table border=1>";
    echo "<tr><th>Product ID</th><th>Title</th><th>Author</th><th>Description</th></tr>";


while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result))
{
    echo "<tr><td>" . $row["id"] . "</td><td>" . $row["title"] . "</td><td>" . ucwords(strtolower($row["authorFirstName"] . " " . $row["authorLastName"])) . "</td><td>" . $row["description"] . "</td></tr>";

}

echo "</table>";
