What causes the leaves to change colors in the fall?
The green in leaves is from chlorophyll and aprocess called photosynthesis. The sun is the main source of energy that allows this process to happen. During the fall when daylight, (sunlight), is less, then so the photosynthesis process is also less. As the earth tilts away from the sun and the days grow shorter, the earth receives less of the power of the sun, and this reduces the amount of this reaction. This shortens until the true color of the leaf is finally allowed to show in the late fall. Some of this color was there all summer. When there is not enough of the suns energy received by the tree to keep the leaves on it anymore, the tree drops its leaves conserving energy. (But that's another question) Hence... Cooler cloudy days of fall = less green (More Colors) in the leaves and Warmer sunny days of spring = more green in the leaves
