Autumn is the season between summer and winter where deciduous trees shed their leaves and most crops are harvested. The leaves change color before falling off the trees in a phenomenon called "fall foliage". Autumn marks shorter, cooler days with longer nights and increasing precipitation. The word "autumn" comes from the French word "automne" and became popular in the 16th century, while the North American term "fall" likely derived from the phrase "fall of the leaves".

Autumn fruit Autumn (also known as fall in North American English) is one of the four temperate seasons. Autumn marks the transition from summer into winter. In the northern hemisphere, the start of autumn is generally considered to be around September and in the southern hemisphere, its beginning is considered to be around March. There exists however a number of different definitions of autumn some of which are based on the months of the year while others are based on the equinox and solstice.
Around this time, deciduous trees shed their leaves. The leaves of the trees change their color to a reddish hue prior to falling. Such colored leaves have come to be colloquially called "fallfoliage". In the temperate zones, autumn is the season during which most crops are harvested, and deciduous trees lose their leaves. It is also the season during which days get shorter and cooler, the nights get longer, and precipitation gradually increases (in some parts of the world).
The word 'autumn' is derived from the French word "automne", and became popular in usage for the season since the 16th century. The North American name for the season, 'fall', probably derived as a contraction of the phrase "fall of the leaves", and since became used interchangeably.
