It eventually turns paper yellowbecause of oxidation. Paper is madefrom wood, which is made up mainly of white cellulose. Wood also has a lot of a dark substance in it called lignin, which ends up in the paper, too, along with the cellulose. The exposure of lignin to air and sunlight is what turns paper yellow

Explanation:

Lignin eventually turns paper yellow

because of oxidation. That is, the lignin

molecules, when exposed to oxygen in

the air, begin to change and become

less stable. The lignin will absorb more

light, giving off a darker color. ... After

only a few hours of sunlight and oxygen,

however, it will start to change color.
