Seasons AND leaves changing? WHY?? :)

Heyy! Do you ever wonder how leaves actually change color? Well wonder no more! When fall comes, you look at a tree, and you say "Oh that's pretty" and walk away. But it's hard to believe, there's actually some science behind that. And that's what we're diving in to today. :) Oh, and by the way, Happy Fall! :)


     Leaf Cycle!                       


I'm not going to put exactly what we are going to go over. Just because I'm going to be explaining the whole process of it. So do you ever wonder why why in spring and summer.. Leaves are lush and pretty. Than when it comes to fall.... It turns yellow, red, and orange? Well I have the answer to that! It's a little something called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll, a substance that makes leaves... Green! 


                                                                  
                                                       See the difference????


Ya know how when fall starts, the days get shorter? Well I hope ya do know that, because when this happens, there are fewer hours of sunlight. Some people think that fall leaves change color because it simply get's colder. Are they right? No. And since there is less hours of sunlight, the sunlight that chlorophyll needs, so basically, it dies, and that's where the green goes. So this is where the leaves natural colors come in. Which is the colors you would see in fall. Red, Yellow, Orange... But still, some things still have to do with climate. Weather and climate affect how bright or how dark the leaves might be.


                    
                                            How pretty is that???? :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)


Since the climate effects the color of the leaves.. Than that means some places in the world that always have the same weather..might not even have fall..Nor seasons. Talking about seasons.. Do you ever wonder why we have them? It's like one of those questions.. Ya know? Like "Why is the sky blue?". Well it's simple why we have seasons.


 Ya see, the earth tilts. It tilts on it's axis. An axis is basically an invisible line that is tilted towards the earth. And if it tilts away from the sun, then it's winter:) If it tilts towards the sun, then it's summer. And the earth is split into two halves. And what splits it? The equator ofcourse! They're the southern, and northern hemisphere. And obviously, they're on oposite sides, right? So when it's winter in the northern hemisphere, it's summer in the southern hemisphere. Easy, Right? :)


Should we go over the seasons?
