Have you ever wondered why leaves change color during the fall season? Well, according to science, trees take a well-deserved rest when the days are shorter and temperatures are cooler, so chlorophyll, the pigment that gives leaves their green color, breaks down. This process creates the warm and beautiful hues we recognize as autumn colors. Interestingly, varying color combinations are produced each year due to differences in temperature, moisture, and sunlight.

Depending on where you’re located in the world, autumn typically lasts between 6 and 10 weeks. While it technically isn’t the shortest season, it still somehow feels that way since peak fall foliage only lasts for one or two weeks before leaves start to drop. It’s this fleeting moment that makes the season so special to most who get to experience it.
