Chloroplast.
In the fall, leaves stop producing chlorophyll, the pigment that gives them their green color. As the chlorophyll breaks down, other pigments such as carotenoids (yellow and orange) and anthocyanins (red and purple) become more prominent, resulting in the vibrant colors we see in autumn leaves.
There is no single answer to that. Leaves obviously mainly fall in autumn. Autumn lasts a few months and it is autumn in the southern hemisphere at a different time of the calendar year than in the northern hemisphere. Many leaves fall in winter and some can also fall in spring and summer too. Things like extreme weather or other natural events or disease can cause leaves to fall. So leaves can actually fall in any month and on any day.
The pigment of leaves is found in organelles called chloroplasts. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, the pigment responsible for capturing sunlight during photosynthesis and giving leaves their green color.
The green colour of the leaves is from the pigment chlorophyll
In a yellow autumn leaf, you would not expect to find significant amounts of chlorophyll, the green pigment responsible for photosynthesis. As leaves change color in the fall, chlorophyll breaks down, revealing other pigments like carotenoids that produce yellow hues. Other pigments, such as anthocyanins, may be present but are typically associated with red or purple colors rather than yellow.
IT is cold so its not that much sunlight so the leaves can not make food so the photosynthesis stops and the leaves die and change colors
because they get frail from the weather and fall
leaves are suppost to be green, they go brown in Autumn because they are dying in the cold weather

Carotenoids are the pigments responsible for the yellow color of leaves in autumn. These pigments are present in the chloroplasts of plant cells and help in the process of photosynthesis. As the green chlorophyll pigment breaks down in the fall, the carotenoids are revealed, resulting in the yellow hues in leaves.
To save water they lose their leaves in order to keep the water in the tree through out the harsh weather.
During the autumn season, tree leaves can change to various colors such as red, orange, yellow, and brown. This change in color is due to the breakdown of chlorophyll, the green pigment in leaves, revealing other pigments like carotenoids and anthocyanins.
Leaves change color in autumn due to a decrease in chlorophyll production, which masks the green pigment and allows other pigments such as carotenoids (yellow and orange) and anthocyanins (red and purple) to become visible. This change in pigments is triggered by the shorter days and cooler temperatures, signaling the tree to prepare for winter and eventually shed its leaves.

The green pigment in leaves are Chlorophyll A and Chlorophyll B.
Falling Autumn Leaves was created in 1888.
Autumn Leaves - song - was created in 1945.
