Carbon is the lightest member of the IVA family of the periodic table, atomic number 6, electronic configuration 1s22s22p2. Its first ionization potential is 11.26V. Its naturally-occurring stable isotopes are of mass 12 (98.89%) and 13 (1.11%). C14 is produced by cosmic rays in the atmosphere at a constant rate,

Update: Mars Climate Sounder Gives First Warning of a Major "Dust Event" ... The rising dust event is best observed by zeroing in on one of the detectors, one that senses infrared light at a wavelength of 15 microns, where carbon dioxide (the dominant constituent of Mars' atmosphere) is strongly absorbing.

The atmosphere of Mars is quite different from that of Earth. ... Carbon dioxide, the major constituent of the atmosphere, freezes out to form an immense polar cap, alternately at each pole. The carbon dioxide forms a great cover of snow and then evaporates again with the coming of spring in each hemisphere.
