Carbon-14 dating is a way of determining the age of certain archaeological artifacts of a biological origin up to about 50,000 years old. It is used in dating things such as bone, cloth, wood and plant fibers that were created in the relatively recent past by human activities.
Carbon 14 is the isotope that is used for carbon dating.
Carbon-14.
Carbon-14 is an example of radioactive dating.
The carbon isotope used in radioactive dating of artifacts is carbon-14. It is produced in the atmosphere by cosmic ray bombardment and is absorbed by living organisms. When an organism dies, the amount of carbon-14 decreases over time through radioactive decay, which can be used to determine the age of the artifact.
Carbon-14 is the isotope most commonly used in radioactive dating of organic materials like bones and charcoal.
The ratio of carbon-14 (radioactive) to carbon-12 (nonradioactive) is measured.

No, carbon dating does not use nuclear fusion. Carbon dating is a method used to determine the age of organic materials by measuring the remaining levels of a radioactive isotope called carbon-14. This process involves the decay of carbon-14, not nuclear fusion.
Carbon 14... i just did that same question on castle learning haha :)
Radioactive carbon dating is used to determine the age of archaeological artifacts by measuring the amount of carbon-14 remaining in the artifact. Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope that decays at a known rate over time. By comparing the amount of carbon-14 in the artifact to the amount in living organisms, scientists can calculate the age of the artifact.
