In this tutorial, we are going to learn about animation-duration.

So, what is animation-duration?

The animation-duration property specifies how many seconds or milliseconds an animation takes to complete one cycle.

This property has a syntax:
animation-duration: time | initial | inherit ;

Property Values
time - it specifies the length of time an animation takes to finish. The default value is equal to 0s.
initial - it specifies that the value of the property should be set to the default value.

inherit - it specifies that the value of the property should be inherited from the parent element.

Example

This example shows the use of the animation-duration property in a three (3) different value of time.
