CSS animation-duration Property

CSS animation-duration property specifies the time that the animation takes to complete its one cycle.

The duration time is specified in seconds(s) or milliseconds(ms). By default, the duration time is set to 0s, which means that the animation happens instantly and we can not observe it.

  animation-name: moveRight;
  animation-duration: 8s; 
}
