•  Leaves do not change color every season it does not make sense, scientist have proved this.

Why do fall leaves change color?

• Fall leaves colors do not change.
• Leaves are colored by molecules called pigments. The pigment that causes leavesto be green is chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is important for plants to make food using sunlight. During spring and summer when there is plenty of sunlight, plants make a lot of chlorophyll.
• The chlorophyll breaks down, the green color disappears, and the yellow to orange colors become visible and give the leaves part of their fall splendor. At the same time other chemical changes may occur, which form additional colors through the development of red anthocyanin pigments.

Is it possible for it to rain during summer even though summer is the hottest season?

• No it is not yet possible 
• n many places, summer rain is small because processes capable of lifting the air are weak and infrequent, leading to minimal summer rainfall

Where did the term ''Summer'' Come from?

• came from the Old English name for that time of year
•  as a name for a season isn't perfectly clear, though it’s thought that it probably came from the idea of leaves falling from trees 
• first occurred in English in the 12th century, though was a rarity until around the 14th century. It then began to pick up steam and became common in the 16th century—about the same time
• comes from the Proto-Indo-European (PIE) wed, meaning “wet,” or it may come from the PIE wind-, meaning “white.”  Either way, the Proto-Germanic wentruz gave rise to the Old English 

What does summer mean?

• The warmest season of the year, in the northern hemisphere from June to August and in the southern hemisphere from December to February.
• “Fall” is an informal term used in North America for autumn, the season that follows summer and precedes winter, a reference to the time when leaves fall from trees. It is commonly September-October-November in the Northern Hemisphere; 
• The spring season often brings warmer temperatures and new growth, and is celebrated by people around the world with festivals and fairs. Spring is the period of time between the vernal equinox, which falls around March 21 each year, and the summer solstice, which takes place every year on June 21.
• Winter is the coldest season of the year in polar and temperate climates, between autumn and spring. Winter is caused by the axis of the Earth in that hemisphere being oriented away from the Sun.

Why do the leaves on the trees in winter fall off of the trees during the season?

• Leaves must fall. Evergreens can hang on to their leaves through winter, because their foliage is coated in a wax that helps protect against cold, and their cells bear anti-freeze chemicals that ward off winter's worst woes. Not so for broadleaf, or deciduous, trees.
• The sun goes away so the leaves do not have any more sunlight to grow in so they slowly die off and fall off of the trees.
• Mother nature chooses to make the the leaves fall off of the trees if she gets bored of the color green,red,yellow,orange or brown

Why is summer the hottest season?

• sun passes directly above the equator because of the tilt of the Earth.
• Summer is not the hottest season 
• The sun just gets closer and closer to the earth till its the perfect temperature

Why is winter so cold?

• Because the earth's axis is tilted. It is all about the tilt of the Earth's axis. Many people believe that the temperature changes because the Earth is closer to the sun in summer and farther from the sun in winter.
• The earth tilts towards the sun until the sun becomes cold
• Winter is not cold

What does season mean?

• each of the four divisions of the year (spring, summer, autumn, and winter) marked by particular weather patterns and daylight hours, resulting from the earth's changing position with regard to the sun.
• Seasons are a Spanish word made up for a food we eat for Thanksgiving 
• Seasons are a series of events happening in one day
