The results of the Sun in Time program indicate that the X ray, far ultraviolet and ultraviolet fluxes of the young Sun were significantly higher than today. Similarly, the solar wind mayhave been much stronger in the past. Such environment of intense energy and particle emissions could have influenced the paleo-atmospheres of Solar System planets and, by extension, the habitability and stability of exoplanets.
