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.
