The "transition-property" setting just determines which CSS properties will get a transition effect.

For example, if you had a :hover rule that would change the height, width, background-color, and font; but you had "transition-property: background-color", then only the background color would change slowly, everything else would happen instantly.

thank you steven i am also bit confused in css-duration and css-delay

The duration is how long it lasts. A 1 second duration will seem quick but a 5 second duration will seem slow. And delay is a time to wait before the effect begins.

A few experiments in the workspace might help make these things much more clear than explanations. Try them out and see what they do!
