Why is autumn called fall?
In the US autumn is called fall because of the leaves falling from the trees.
It is believed that both names autumn and fall began in Britain, fall is more commonly used in the US. Around the 1600s, poets so impressed by the changes of autumn began using the term “fall of the leaves”. This saying became part of the season, and was later changed to fall. By the mid-1800s, fall was used more interchangeably and considered an American phrase. Like the poets, I’m partial to Fall.
Which months are autumn?
September, October, and November. Ok, ok super obvious.
Why is autumn the best season?
Most people like it best for the cool, crisp air, and comfort food. I can already smell the apple pie and Turkey.
What is the fall season known for?
Leaves changing colors was the top answer.
That wonderful change of foliage from green to hues of yellows, oranges, reds, purples, and browns. A beautiful sight.
The cooler temperatures, and less daylight do effect the foliage’s production of chlorophyll. So trees and plants drop their leaves to conserve energy. Also known as, Leaf abscission, the dropping of leaves is due to the shortage of chlorophyll, vital to photosynthesis.

Columbus Day
Halloween
Veteran’s Day
Thanksgiving (ranks at the top of the list)
