The video tutorial explains the concept of ignition temperature, which is the lowest temperature at which a combustible substance starts burning. It highlights why dry leaves burn more easily than green leaves. Green leaves contain moisture, which absorbs a significant amount of heat before evaporating, making it difficult for them to reach ignition temperature. In contrast, dry leaves lack moisture, requiring less heat to ignite and burn easily.
