It works so well...but why?

Answer:
In some fruits and vegetables, such as bananas, pears, apples, and avocados occurs, ripening is accompanied by the emission of ethane, which to an extent hastens ripening. Putting the fruit or vegetable in question in a paper bag forces them to "breathe their own air", that is, exposes them to a concentration of ethane that speeds up ripening.
It stimulates a more humid environment.
the tomato also ripens faster when you put it in a paper bag, the reason is that they ripen naturally at night . They absorb the sunlight through the day , but actually ripen in the night. so if you put them in a paper bag it keeps the light off of them and they ripen as if it was night.
Bananas, pears, peaches, apricots, plums, and kiwi do as well.

Placing fruit in a paper bag and closing the top helps concentrate ethylene gas, causing fruit to ripen faster. Bananas are particularly prolific ethylene producers, so if you enclose one in the bag with other ripening fruits, it will accelerate the process even more. Check them regularly, though, to catch them before they rot.

A room temperature of around 70 degrees F. is ideal for ripening. In warm temperatures, fruit ripens faster. In the refrigerator, fruit ripens very slowly.
