Because presence of mixture of hydrogen and sulfide and brass is a type of thing which has a color very light and mixture is non temperature (hot and cold type of temperature) so it gets discolored.

Brass is the alloy of Copper & Zinc.
Brass reacting with Hydrogen Sulphate present in the atmosphere it forms Zinc Sulphate.

Brass gets discolored in the air because of the presence of Hydrogen sulphide. It is because the presence of a mixture of hydrogen and sulphide and brass is a type of thing that has a color very light and the mixture is non-temperature (hot and cold type of temperature) so it gets discolored.

Brass gets discolored in the air because of the presence of Hydrogen sulphide. Because the presence of a mixture of hydrogen and sulphide and brass is a mixture of copper and zinc, which has a color very light that's why it happens.

Brass is a copper alloy with the addition of zinc.
Copper is reactive with some materials in the atmosphere at different temperatures.
Exposure to air at normal temperatures results in discolouration (tarnish) due to reaction with sulfur and chlorine compounds and carbonates,
Exposure at high temperatures > 150° C. Results in reaction with oxygen producing red oxides (cuprous) at lower temperatures and brown or black oxides (cupric) at higher temperatures.

I think it's because brass is an alloy and can't be corroded by the others.
