Why Leaves Change Color: The Science of Fall
03 Nov 2025
Fall is the season when leaves turn bright shades of red, orange, and yellow before they drop to the ground. But why does this happen? During spring and summer, leaves are full of chlorophyll, the chemical that makes them green and helps trees make food from sunlight. When fall arrives and the weather gets cooler, trees slow down food-making, and the green color fades away. That’s when the other colors—reds, yellows, and oranges—appear! This video explores how weather, daylight, and leaf chemistry all work together to create the beautiful colors of fall. 💵 Get a free month of Acorns Early: acornsearly.com/bedtimehistory Try Cocomelon Sing & Play for Free on your smart TV Volley App 📖 We published our first book, Explorer Society: World's Fair Conspiracy 🎉 Check out our new show, Bedtime Safari! 📢 Donate via Patreon for a shout-out! 📺 500+ YouTube Videos
