Chlorophyll in leaves absorbs sunlight to help the tree make food, but shorter days and less sunlight in fall cause green to fade. Yellow and orange pigments are present all summer but hidden by green, while bright reds and purples are produced newly in cool fall weather.

In autumn, leaves change from green to yellow, orange, red, and even purple. It looks like magic, but it is really science!  \nThat green color comes from something inside leaves called chlorophyll, which soaks up sunlight to make food for the tree. In fall the days get shorter and there is less sunlight, so the green slowly fades away. When the green disappears, other colors that were hiding all along finally get to show off.  \nThose hiding colors are the sunny yellows and warm oranges, and they were in the leaves the whole summer! You just could not see them because the green was covering them up, like paint over a picture. The bright reds and purples are different, because the tree makes those brand-new in the cool fall weather.  \nAfter the leaves finish their big color show, the tree lets them go, and they float down to the ground. The tree does this to rest and stay safe through the cold, snowy winter. So next fall, when a red leaf lands by your feet, remember it made that color just for you!  \nWhy Leaves Change Color  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What is the main topic of this whole passage?\u003Cbr>A.
