Transitions are a basic form of CSS animation that you can use to create beautiful effects.

CSS transitions smoothly change property values, adding feedback and visual appeal to web elements, and enhancing the user experience.
Transition properties like transition-property, transition-duration, transition-timing-function, and transition-delay are key in controlling the behavior and timing of transitions.
Beginners should start with simple transitions, understand the box model, plan transitions beforehand, optimize for performance, consider accessibility, and use Chrome's developer tools for seamless development.
