transition-duration
The transition-duration
CSS property sets the length of time a transition animation should take to complete. By default, the value is 0s
, meaning that no animation will occur.

You may specify multiple durations; each duration will be applied to the corresponding property as specified by the {{ cssxref("transition-property") }} property, which acts as a master list. If the number of specified durations is less than in the master list, the user agent repeats the list of durations. If the number of specified durations is more than in the master list, the list is truncated to the right size. In both the cases, the CSS declaration stays valid.
Syntax

transition-duration: 6s;

/* Global values */
