Carbon delivered to the Earth by interplanetary dust particles may have been an important source of pre-biotic organic matter (Anders, 1989). Interplanetary dust is shown to deliver an order-of-magnitude higher surface concentration of carbon onto Mars than onto Earth, suggesting interplanetary dust may be an important source of carbon on Mars as well.
由行星际尘埃颗粒输送到地球的碳可能是前生物有机物质的一个重要来源（安德斯，1989年）。研究表明，行星际尘埃在火星上输送的碳表面浓度比在地球上高一个数量级，这表明行星际尘埃也可能是火星上碳的一个重要来源。
