😳 WHY? ❓❓
Why do leaves change colour in autumn?
Leaves are green because they are full of chlorophyll, the pigment that helps plants make food from sunlight. Leaves also contain yellow and orange pigments called carotenoids, but the large amount of chlorophyll hides them. When days grow shorter and cooler, many trees stop making chlorophyll and the green fades, so the yellow and orange colours show through. In some trees, sugars trapped in the leaf form new red and purple pigments called anthocyanins, which is why leaves such as Kashmir’s chinar turn a fiery red. Finally the tree seals off the leaf stalk and the leaf falls.
