Yes, the sun can be expected to have some carbon. That carbon would have come from the same source as the carbon on the earth.

Our sun is not massive enough nor hot enough to nucleosynthesize carbon. That would require a red giant. See http://library.thinkquest.org/17940/texts/nucleosynthesis/nucleosynthesis.html for some more details.

What are cooler gases of the sun?

Cooler gases in the sun include elements like helium, oxygen, carbon, and iron. These gases typically exist in the outer layers of the sun's atmosphere, such as the chromosphere and the corona, where temperatures are lower compared to the sun's core.


What are the gases that found in the sun?

The Sun is primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, with trace amounts of other elements such as oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen. These elements undergo nuclear fusion in the Sun's core, producing energy and light.


What is the ice and dust that orbits the sun?

Ice and dust that orbit the sun are known as comets. Comets are composed of a mixture of rock, dust, water ice, and frozen gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, and ammonia. When a comet approaches the sun, the heat causes the ice to vaporize and create a glowing coma and tail.


Is coal a form of Solar energy?

Yes, the energy stored in coal came from the sun. Plants using an ingenious process called photosynthesis, use energy from the sun, to take carbon-dioxide from the air, use the carbon and release the oxygen back to the air. After the plant is eaten or dies and is decomposed or burned (the net effect is the same) the oxygen again breaks the chemical bonds, releasing the energy from the sun and liberating the carbon-dioxide back to the air to become the next generation of plants. Coal is carbon from the air and energy from the sun.

Can the sun produce carbon dioxide?

No, the sun does not produce carbon dioxide. The sun generates energy through nuclear fusion, primarily converting hydrogen into helium in its core, which does not involve carbon dioxide as a byproduct. Carbon dioxide is produced through processes such as combustion, respiration, and certain geological activities on Earth, rather than by the sun itself.


Where can carbon be found?

Carbon is found in abundance in the sun, stars, comets and atmospheres


Which component of the carbon cycle and nitrogen cycle captures the energy from the sun?

Plants are a part of the nitrogen and carbon cycles and it captures the energy from the sun.


What is the effect of sun on plants?

Sun gives out carbon dioxide and sunlight for plants.


Does the sun let off carbon dioxide?

No.


Is the carbon dioxide layer also prevents the coming of the UV-rays from the sun?

No, carbon dioxide does not. it does not stop UV rays from the sun from coming to surface.


Does sun give off oxygen in carbon cycle?

no


Is the end o the world real?

Sun will get bigger because of Carbon Dioxide...Our OzoneLayer..Has been broked..So the Carbon Dioxide will go to SPACE!!.....Sun will receive it..Then the Sun will get BIGGER THAN EVER!...Russian Scientists worried about that!..SUN WILL EAT US!


Does the sun breathe?

No. As far as I know the sun doesn't breath. It might produce carbon dioxide though.


What does the carbon dioxide in the air do to the sun?

Nothing. Earth's atmosphere does not affect the sun. It does, however, cause Earth's atmosphere to retain more of the heat from the sun.


What makes food for the plant?

Plants make their own food from sunlight, water and carbon dioxide.


Where the energy in wood originally comes from?

The wood is made of organic carbon compounds produced when the tree grew, using carbon from the carbon dioxide CO2 in the atmosphere and energy from the Sun's light to split the carbon from the oxygen. When the wood is burnt the carbon is recombined with more oxygen from the atmosphere to produce more CO2, and the original energy which came from the Sun is then released as heat.
