# Organics in the Solar System

## TL;DR

This paper reviews the presence, composition, and origins of complex organic molecules across various Solar System bodies, exploring their implications for the origin of life and extraterrestrial chemistry.

## Contribution

It provides a comprehensive overview of Solar System organics, linking their formation to stellar evolution and discussing their significance for life's origins on Earth.

## Key findings

- Complex organics are widespread in Solar System objects.
- Possible link between Solar System organics and stellar evolution processes.
- Implications for the origin of life and primordial organics on Earth.

## Abstract

Complex organics are now commonly found in meteorites, comets, asteroids, planetary satellites, and interplanetary dust particles. The chemical composition and possible origin of these organics are presented. Specifically, we discuss the possible link between Solar System organics and the complex organics synthesized during the late stages of stellar evolution. Implications of extraterrestrial organics on the origin of life on Earth and the possibility of existence of primordial organics on Earth are also discussed.
