Because of the seasons. Spring and summer have green leaves and fall has yellow, green, brown etc.. winter has no leaves unless you live on the other side of the world.

the reasons leaves change colors is because of the pigments in the plant cells. pigments called carotenoids (carotene) become the main source of photosynthesis and replace the chlorophyll or at least become more dominant. the carotenoids are usually yellow-orange-red color and the amounts vary depending on the genetics of the plant therefore giving the many different shades in the fall.

the changing of the leaves is signaled by the decreasing amount of daylight as summer turns into fall and fall into winter. its called the a decreasing photoperiod.

I think it is a physical change because if it's a chemical change it would be a whole new substance but it's only a change of color. Re: No it can't be a physical change because it's irreversible. There is a chemical reaction occurring in the leaves, so it should be a chemical change.
