Autumn: A Transition Season

Autumn is the season between summer and winter, one of four temperate seasons.
Some call it "fall" due to leaves falling from trees.
Significant changes mark the arrival of autumn:
- Colder and windier weather.
- Shorter days.
- Leaves change color (red, yellow, orange) from green due to decreased sunlight.
- Leaves fall from trees, signaling the end of harvest time.
- Frost replaces dew on the grass.

The transition involves adjusting from summer's heat to winter's chill.
