what do carbon come from?

Answer 1

The bad grammar almost killed me.

Carbon is in every living thing on this planet. We are carbon based life forms. So is a cat or a dog or a tree. When something dies the carbon returns to the Earth or the atmosphere. Look up carbon cycle on Wikipedia.

Answer 2

MiMi, carbon is an element. It is what it is, a basic substance.

Carbon is a chemical element that has the symbol C and atomic number 6. An abundant nonmetallic, tetravalent element, carbon has several allotropic forms.

The abundance of carbon in the universe, along with the unusual polymer-forming ability of carbon-based compounds at the common temperatures encountered on Earth, make this element the basis of the chemistry of all known life.

In theory, all elements started out as simple Hydrogen, the first element. By fusion in the thermonuclear furnace of the earliest stars formed in the universe, 2 Hydrogen atoms were fused together to form Helium. Further fusion of Helium with Hydrogen produced Lithium, then Beryllium, then Boron, then Carbon.

Suggest you check out a Periodic Table of the Elements, and follow the History Channel's miniseries entitled "The Universe". This will "fill your cup" with neat info.

Answer 3

Were does anything come from, I mean really, just keep pedaling it back further and further eventually it just stops making sense. How does a big bang even occur if you don't have the elements as a catalyst to the event. Were does it begin can elements just create themselves? I don't think so.

Answer 4

carbon comes from the earths atmosphere, and it is used to make steel
