CSS transition Property


The transition property is a shorthand property that can represent up to four longhand properties related to transitions.

The Transition properties enable elements to change values over a specified time period, animating the property changes rather than having them happen instantly. So, if we have a box with a red background that we want to change to a green background when we hover over it, we can use the transition property to change the background color.
