Fall, also known as autumn, is the season that occurs between summer and winter. It is characterized by cooler temperatures and the changing colors of leaves on trees, which often turn vibrant shades of red, orange, and yellow. This season typically lasts from September to November in the Northern Hemisphere and is associated with harvest time for many crops. Winter follows fall and is marked by the coldest temperatures of the year. It usually lasts from December to February in the Northern Hemisphere. During this season, many regions experience snowfall, and days are shorter with less sunlight. Activities such as skiing and snowboarding become popular, while people often celebrate holidays like Christmas and Hanukkah.
