All elements heavier than hydrogen, including carbon, were produced by fusion in the centre of stars, which then exploded (supernova), and the debris was part of the Earth's formation.

Is carbon dioxide a gas that traps heat from the sun?

Yes, carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the Earth's atmosphere. It allows sunlight to enter the atmosphere and reach the Earth's surface, but it also absorbs and traps infrared radiation (heat) that is then radiated back toward the Earth. This contributes to the Earth's overall warming.

How does ground level carbon dioxide reach the ozone layer?

Ground level carbon dioxide does not reach the ozone layer because the ozone layer is located in the stratosphere, around 10-50 kilometers above the Earth's surface, while carbon dioxide is typically found in the lower troposphere. The transport of carbon dioxide from the surface to the stratosphere is primarily through diffusion and large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns, not direct vertical movement from the ground.
