Chlorophyll is the chemical that makes the leaves green and it is essential for photosynthesis to take place. As the weather changes, there is less light, therefore less chlorophyll is needed because there are less daylight hour for time for photosynthesis, so the amount of chlorophyll starts to decrease.
