Why do leaves change color?

Answer Posted / Pankaj Kumar Arya

Leaves change color as a result of the changing seasons. Chlorophyll, the green pigment responsible for photosynthesis, begins to break down in preparation for winter. As chlorophyll breaks down, other pigments such as carotenes and xanthophylls become more visible, giving leaves their yellow, orange, and red hues.
