CSS Animation

CSS Animation is a web technology that allows developers to create smooth, declarative animations directly in CSS without using JavaScript. It uses keyframes to define animation sequences and properties like duration, timing, and iteration to control how elements move or change over time. This enables visual effects such as fades, rotations, scaling, and transitions on web pages.

Also known as: CSS3 Animation, CSS Animations, CSS Keyframes, CSS Transitions, Web Animation
