Carbon dioxide does not leave the atmosphere into space, but rather back to the earth and the oceans. Much of it is taken up by plants through photosynthesis, while much of the remainder is taken up by oceans. Oceans, however, also outgas a considerable amount, so it is not just a one-way transport.
It has to travel at least 17,000MPH.
Originally the earth had only a small amount of oxygen and abundant carbon dioxide. Primordial green algae first evolved to take advantage of this carbon dioxide and produced the oxygen as a by product. Over billions and billions of years, and as additional plant species evolved, the atmosphere was transformed into the oxygen rich environment we have today.

It will go to space and come back to earth in 2 years.
An object only becomes a meteor when it leaves orbit and enters earth's atmosphere.
From the atmosphere, of course. There is a small amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and plants take in this gas through the stomata of their leaves and use it to construct sugars.
All trees, leaves and growing vegetation absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

At the stomata. Stomata are little pores on the surface that let Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, as well as water in and out of the leaf.
from atmosphere
is called respiration. Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen through small openings called stomata in their leaves. This process is vital for the plant's survival as it allows them to obtain the carbon dioxide needed for photosynthesis and release excess oxygen as a byproduct.
All trees and different types of vegetation can. The trees and plants don't store all of the carbon dioxide for years because some plants die, and some trees drop leaves in the fall. What happens is in the summer when the trees get new leaves and grow more wood in the form of branches and a larger trunk, then they store a lot of carbon dioxide. However, in the fall, when the leaves fall and they decompose, a portion of the carbon dioxide is released back into the atmosphere. The majority of the carbon dioxide is stored, or sequestered, in the wood of the trees and the remaining parts of the plants (such as stems, roots). That is until they are consumed by rotting, or decomposing, or by being burned. Then the carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere once more. Since trees live a very long time, a lot of carbon dioxide is stored for a very long time.
carbon dioxide is taken in through the leaves and is then used in the process of photosynthesis to make food for the plant.
because leaves or plants absorb the carbon dioxide
Deforestation is the destruction of forests. Forests remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and act like a great carbon sink, storing the carbon in its leaves, roots, trunks and branches. Destroying the trees adds more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, causing global warming.
Plants and animals are both complex organisms that share in a cycle of carbon dioxide and oxygen. Animals breathe out carbon dioxide when they respirate and plants take that in through their leaves and then emit oxgen which animals inhale. And the cycle begins again.
