Which one is true about Fall?

Correct Answer

A. Days Get Shorter

Explanation

During the fall season, the days gradually become shorter. This is because the tilt of the Earth's axis causes the sun's rays to hit the Northern Hemisphere at a lower angle, resulting in less daylight. As a result, the duration of daylight decreases, making the days shorter. This phenomenon is one of the defining characteristics of the fall season.
