The carbon found on Earth was present in the solar nebular from which the solar system formed. This carbon was formed as a result of the nuclear fusion processes which occur in stars as they leave the main sequence to become Red Giant stars.
These Red Giants expel part of their content as they die and this expelled stuff contain the carbon that they made. The expelled stuff eventually becomes part of a new star forming process.

What form of carbon is used as pigment?
Both amorphous carbon (lampblack) and graphite are used as black pigments.
Why does no soot form from a blue flame?
When a carbon-containing fuel is burned, carbon-oxygen compounds are formed. If there's enough air, carbon dioxide will be formed. When the oxygen runs low you'll get carbon monoxide, and when it runs out you get pure carbon - soot. A blue flame has enough oxygen to convert all the carbon to CO2.
When we heat things with a yellow Bunsen burner flame they get covered in soot where do the carbon particles come from to make the soot?
The fuel in the Bunsen burner is a compound of carbon and hydrogen. The hydrogen combines with the oxygen in air to form water leaving the carbon behind as the black substance.
How are soot particles formed from diesel?
Soot particles are the result of incomplete combustion of carbon or organic compounds.
Is particulate carbon is another name for soot?
Yes it is.
What form of carbon is used a a pigment?
soot
Why does black soot form on a funnel?
Black soot can form on a funnel when there is incomplete combustion of fuel. This happens when the fuel does not have enough oxygen to fully burn, leading to the production of carbon particles. These carbon particles then adhere to the surface of the funnel, resulting in the formation of black soot.
Is carbon a liquid or solid?
Carbon is usually solid by itself under the allotropic form: diamond, soot and charcoal.
What form of carbon is used as pigment?
Both amorphous carbon (lampblack) and graphite are used as black pigments.
What are diamonds and soot made out of?
Diamond is an allotropic form, crystalline of carbon. Soots are also carbon, but noncrystalline and contain particles of organic compounds.
What is Diesel engine smoke problem?
Mostly un-burned carbon in the form of a fine soot.
Is carbon lustrous?
Graphite is not a metal. It's a form of Carbon, a non-metal.
How soot exist?
Soot is the product of an incomplete combustion of carbon.
Why does no soot form from a blue flame?
When a carbon-containing fuel is burned, carbon-oxygen compounds are formed. If there's enough air, carbon dioxide will be formed. When the oxygen runs low you'll get carbon monoxide, and when it runs out you get pure carbon - soot. A blue flame has enough oxygen to convert all the carbon to CO2.
How did soot exists in the luminous flame?
Soot appears when there is an incomplete combustion of carbon. In fact, soot is just carbon but floated up as it becomes less dense.
What is the formula for soot?
Soot is primarily composed of Carbon. Four different types of particulate carbon can be identified in different types of soot, so getting more specific would require knowing what type of soot it was.
How does the number of atoms affect substance?
I assume you're asking about density when you say "substance." Take the example of carbon. In one form, it is a black powder (think soot). In its densest form it is diamond. A teaspoon of diamond has many more carbon atoms in it than a teaspoon of soot.
