When carbon dioxide leaves Earth's atmosphere, it gets absorbed by the oceans, plants, and soil through a process known as carbon sink. Additionally, carbon dioxide can also get stored in rocks over long periods of time through a process called carbon sequestration.
Carbon in the atmosphere is most commonly found as carbon dioxide (CO2).
About 95.3% of Mars' atmosphere is composed of carbon dioxide.
Carbon in the atmosphere is mostly found in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2), which makes up about 0.04% of the atmosphere. Carbon can also exist in the form of methane (CH4) and other greenhouse gases in smaller concentrations.
Photosynthesis is the process by which carbon dioxide is taken out of the atmosphere by plants. During photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen. The carbon in the carbon dioxide is incorporated into the plant's tissues, effectively removing it from the atmosphere.
Carbon is taken from atmosphere. It is the main source

Carbon dioxide is taken in from the atmosphere through the leaves during photosynthesis. This carbon dioxide is then used along with water and sunlight to produce glucose, which is the food that plants need to survive and grow.
The process that adds carbon from the atmosphere is known as carbon sequestration or carbon uptake. This can occur through natural processes like photosynthesis in plants, where they absorb carbon dioxide from the air and store it in their tissues. Additionally, carbon can be taken out of the atmosphere and stored through human activities like carbon capture and storage technologies.
Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere through processes like carbon sequestration, where it is stored in geological formations or in forests. Additionally, chemical reactions in seawater and weathering of rocks can also contribute to the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide is taken in from the atmosphere and combined with water and sunlight to produce glucose through photosynthesis.
In the carbon cycle, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants during photosynthesis. Animals eat the plants, incorporating carbon into their bodies. When animals respire or decompose, carbon dioxide is released back into the atmosphere. This creates a cyclical flow of carbon between the atmosphere, plants, animals, and back to the atmosphere.
Locked-up carbon refers to carbon that is stored or sequestered in forests, soil, ocean sediments, or other natural systems, reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This stored carbon helps to mitigate the impacts of climate change by preventing it from contributing to the greenhouse effect.
Carbon is removed from the atmosphere in some ways. For example, plants and trees eliminate carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis. Carbon will be released into the atmosphere when an organism dies.
Most of the carbon in the atmosphere is in the form of carbon dioxide, (CO2) gas.
Absorption in the carbon cycle refers to the process by which carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is taken up by plants through photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, releasing oxygen as a byproduct. This absorption of carbon by plants helps regulate the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
