As the hot days of summer are coming to an end, a new season is upon us. Of course, it is Autumn! Personally, I enjoy Autumn greatly as the temperature hovers between the 50′s and 60′s where I live. Autumn, also known as Fall, is a cooling period of the year when the leaves fall from the tree, football season picks up and clam bakes are perfect social gatherings.
To bring in the new season, we have compiled a list of interesting Autumn facts for you to enjoy!
- During Fall, the days shorten therefore the sun does not stay in the sky for as long.
- Due to the lack of sunlight, leaves can no longer maintain support for itself. Leafs become weak and fall to the ground.
- Due to the wide variety of trees in the Northeastern U.S., this is one of the best areas in the world to view colorful leaf displays.
- Autumn starts on or around September 15 and lasts until about December 20.
- The color change in fall foliage is due to chemical changes.
