Carbon dioxide is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CO₂. It is made up of molecules that each have one carbon atom covalently double bonded to two oxygen atoms. It is found in the gas state at room temperature, and as the source of available carbon in the carbon cycle, atmospheric CO₂ is the primary carbon source for life on Earth. In the air, carbon dioxide is transparent to visible light but absorbs infrared radiation, acting as a greenhouse gas. Carbon dioxide is soluble in water and is found in groundwater, lakes, ice caps, and seawater. When carbon dioxide dissolves in water, it forms carbonate and mainly bicarbonate, which causes ocean acidification as atmospheric CO₂ levels increase.

कार्बन डाइयाक्साइड (अंग्रेज़ी: carbon dioxide; रासायनिक सूत्र CO₂), एक रंगहीन तथा गन्धहीन गैस है जो पृथ्वी पर जीवन के लिये अत्यावश्यक है। धरती पर यह प्राकृतिक रूप से पायी जाती है। धरती के वायुमण्डल में यह गैस आयतन के हिसाब से लगभग 0.03 प्रतिशत होती है।
